The Medical Faculty, Department of Internal Medicine I (Medical Director Prof. Dr. Thomas Seufferlein), is seeking to fill the position, starting as soon as possible, of a

Professor (W3) for translational research on microbiota and the immune system with focus on gastrointestinal oncology

no management responsibilities

The University is seeking to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and particularly encourage qualified female scientists to apply for this position. Severely disabled applicants with equal aptitude will be given preferential consideration.

We are looking for candidates representing the field of microbiota and the immune system in gastrointestinal oncology in research and teaching.

The applicant should have an independent research profile, proven by successful third-party funding and high-ranking publications in basic and/or translational research in the field of microbiota and immune system with a focus on oncology, as well as the ability to transfer research results into clinical practice. A scientific focus should be on the role of microbiota and the immune system in initiation and propagation of tumors and on the establishment of novel biomarkers and therapeutic approaches. The willingness to cooperate in research networks of the University of Ulm, e.g. Boehringer Ingelheim Ulm University BioCenter (BIU), the CRCs 1149, 1279 and 1506 as well as the CCC-SüdWest and the NCT-SüdWest is expected.

The professorship plays an essential role for student education and thus for curricular and extracurricular teaching in Internal Medicine as well as for the Molecular Medicine program. Therefore the position requires a commitment to medical education and training. Active participation in the establishment and implementation of new teaching concepts (also in the context of our new teaching building, TTU) is expected.

Employment requirements are completed university studies as well as teaching aptitude, a doctoral degree and further pertinent scientific achievements (§ 47 LHG).
