As one of Europe’s leading research universities, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich is committed to the highest international standards of excellence in research and teaching. Building on its more than 500-year-long tradition, it offers a broad spectrum that covers all areas of knowledge within its 18 Faculties, ranging from the humanities, law, economics and social sciences, to medicine and the natural sciences.
The Faculty of Medicine invites applications for a
Professorship (W2) (6 years)
of Musculoskeletal Health-Care Research
- funded by the Schön Klinik München Harlaching -
commencing as soon as possible.
The professorship will be located at the Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, University Hospital of LMU Munich.
In research and teaching, the professorship will focus on questions of health care research in musculoskeletal diseases, especially using registries and biodatabases. In order to benefit from the large number of cases, a close cooperation between the University Hospital Munich (Clinic for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Musculoskeletal University Center Munich - MUM) and the Schön Clinic Munich Harlaching is planned. Organizationally, the professorship at LMU Munich is located at the Clinic for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery. A special focus of the professorship is the analysis of modern surgical methods and novel medical techniques. Young scientists from the participating clinics/institutions are to be stimulated and involved in their own work in this attractive scientific field (e.g. clinician scientist rotation).
Profound knowledge in statistical, bioinformatic and epidemiological methods as well as experience in health services research is required. Knowledge and experience in registry and clinical trials are desirable. Close cooperation with national registries such as the Trauma Registry, the Aging Trauma Registry and the Endoprosthesis Registry Germany (EPRD) is planned. For the professorship we are looking for a cooperative, interdisciplinary thinking and acting personality with the competence to successfully lead a cross-location team.
LMU Munich seeks to appoint a highly qualified junior academic to this professorship and, therefore, especially encourages early-career scholars to apply. Prerequisites for this position are a university degree and a doctoral degree or a comparable specific qualification. With an excellent record in research and teaching to date, prospective candidates will have demonstrated the potential for an outstanding academic career.
The position is a fixed-term professorship for the duration of six years. A conversion to an indefinite position (tenure track) is not possible.
LMU Munich makes a point of providing newly appointed professors with various types of support, such as welcoming services and assistance for dual career couples.
LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer. The University continues to be very successful in increasing the number of female faculty members and strongly encourages applications from female candidates. LMU Munich intends to enhance the diversity of its faculty members.
People with disabilities who are equally as qualified as other applicants will receive preferential treatment.
