The Faculty of Medicine invites applications for a

Full Professorship (W3) of Urology (Chair)

commencing on April 1st, 2026.

The Professorship is fully responsible for research and teaching in Urology. This Professorship is attached to the position as Head of the Department of Urology at the University Hospital of LMU Munich.

The Department is one of the largest in Germany and covers the whole spectrum of Urology. Preservation and further development of the cooperation with the research networks of the medical faculty and the university as well as with the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC LMU), the DKTK and the LaserForLife is expected. We are therefore looking for a candidate with strong integrative leadership skills, excellent communication skills and proven clinical and scientific leadership experience and expertise.

Prerequisites for this position are a university degree, a doctoral degree or a comparable specific qualification, a board certification as a specialist in Urology (Facharzt für Urologie), teaching skills at university level, excellent academic achievements, including a significant amount of peer-reviewed funding, and a productive and promising research program.

The clinical duties and responsibilities of this professorship, including the billing of private patients, shall be reimbursed under the terms of a “Chefarztvertrag” (chairmanship contract) with a private-law contract for the professorship. This regulation can, however, potentially be disregarded if a professor has already been a chair of a department in a fully tenured professorship (C4-/W3-status) with the authorization to bill private patients.

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.
