Your main tasks

The position seeks an individual with a proven track record in research who represents the field of Extra-European History in modern times through innovative research and teaching. Relevant expertise in a world region outside of Europe is expected, as well as a willingness and ability to engage in cross-epochal and entangled-history research and scholarly collaboration. Specializations in the history of knowledge, environmental history, and/or trans- or intercultural history are welcome.

Requirements for employment include a university degree, proven teaching skills and experience, and excellent research skills, as evidenced by a high-quality doctorate. In addition, an outstanding international scholarly record in the relevant field of the professorship is expected, which has been achieved within the framework of a junior/assistant professorship, a habilitation/”second book” or a comparable qualification.

High-quality peer-reviewed publications, international experience as well as experience in the acquisition and direction of competitive third-party funded projects, preferably with EU- or DFG-funding, are expected. The readiness to engage in current and future (third-party funded) projects as well as in interdisciplinary collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut – KWI) and the Institutes of the University of Duisburg-Essen and the University Alliance Ruhr is also expected. The University of Duisburg-Essen attaches particular importance to the quality of teaching. Teaching concepts that also take into account the profile of the University of Duisburg-Essen must be exhibited. In teaching, the successful candidate is expected to participate in all teaching programs offered by the Department of History. The Department of History also regards digitalization as a priority and favors the implementation and further development of these aspects in research and teaching.

German language skills at level C1 are expected. If these are not met, they should generally be acquired within two years of the appointment.

Your profile

The hiring requirements comply with § 36 of the Higher Education Act of North Rhine-Westphalia (HG).

This appointment is for an initial term of three years as a fixed-term civil servant (W2 university professorship). Following a successful evaluation as part of the tenure track process, continued employment on a permanent basis (W3 professorship) is envisaged.
