Teaching should especially include courses in empirical methods.

We also expect participation at the Hamburg Center of Health Economics (HCHE) and in the emerging field Health Economics. Section 12 subsection 7 sentence 2 of the Hamburg higher education act (Hamburgisches Hochschulgesetz, HmbHG) applies.

Requirements:

Academic qualifications and additional requirements as specified in Section 15 HmbHG.

Additional Criteria:

Applicants are expected to have international research experience as well as a successful track record in acquiring external funding and carrying out externally funded projects.

The University places particular emphasis on the quality of teaching and therefore requests that applicants provide details of their teaching experience and objectives.

Non-German-speaking post holders are expected to acquire the language skills necessary to teach in German (level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) within 2 years of commencing employment.

Following hearings to assess knowledge and expertise, management and human resources skills will be evaluated by an assessment center.
