Full Professor of Economics, in particular Economic Theory

We seek to appoint a leading expert with an internationally visible profile in research and teaching in economics with a particular focus on economic theory and microeconomics. The professor will be expected to become actively involved in the foundation and specialization modules in the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs taught in German and English at the School. The professorship will contribute to the excellent research, international visibility, and networking of the School and FAU, and is expected to tie in with the key research priorities of the School.

Successful candidates should demonstrate an excellent academic track record in research and teaching at the highest international standards. Ideally, candidates should have research experience abroad and/or international cooperations as well as experience in managing research projects and in raising third-party funding. A university degree and an outstanding doctoral degree as well as a passion for education and relevant teaching experience are prerequisites. The position also requires additional postdoctoral qualifications. These should be in the form of a habilitation (postdoctoral thesis) or equivalent academic qualifications. These qualifications may also have been achieved in a non-university context or through a junior faculty position (for example as assistant professor).

The successful candidate should demonstrate academic leadership, the ability to support early career researchers and to drive FAU’s strategic agenda. FAU pursues a policy of intense student mentoring and therefore expects its teaching staff to be present during lecture periods.

FAU offers an outstandingly productive research environment as well as a passionate and multi-disciplinary scholarly community within a vibrant institutional network.

In its pursuit of academic excellence, FAU is committed to equality of opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach, which supports and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive culture, and values diversity.
