pathology, and additional research experience, such as a habilitation
(post-doctoral lecturing qualification) or equivalent achievements gained
as a university researcher or professor or in a research position outside
academia. Teaching ability and dedication are essential and the applica-
tion should include proof of this. Fluent German is not required to start
the position but the successful candidate will be expected to hold clas-
ses in German within the first 5 years.
According to a governmental resolution employment contracts will be
