In addition to the teaching obligations and the supervision of student research projects, internships, and theses, other tasks include research, knowledge transfer, participation in academic self-administration, and the promotion of young academics.

In this context, you will be responsible for the initiation and implementation of (externally funded) research projects, also in cooperation with other professorships of the faculty or with other faculties at Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU).
You should contribute to the Giessen Graduate Centre for Social Sciences, Business, Economics and Law (GGS) at JLU and to the planned cross-faculty Center for Applied Computing and Data Science.
The professorship contributes to the internationalization of the faculty by expanding international cooperation, participating in international research projects, and integrating international perspectives into teaching.

You have relevant teaching experience and can provide evidence of high-ranking publications in the aforementioned research field in nationally and internationally recognized journals.
