The following applies to all our job advertisments: 

The University of Duisburg-Essen aims to increase the diversity of its members (see http://www.uni-due.de/diversity). It also aims to increase the number of women among its academic staff and therefore encourages women with pertinent qualifications to apply. Women with equal qualifications will be preferred in accordance with state equality laws. Applications of qualified disabled persons in the legal sense of § 2 para. 3 SGB IX are also welcome.
