The LMU Small Animal Clinic, a unit of the Center of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, invites applications for a
Professorship (W2) (6 years/tenure track)
of Anaesthesia and Analgesia
commencing as soon as possible.
The successful applicant will be responsible for all aspects within the field of anaesthesia and analgesia. The applicant’s activities are expected to extend into teaching, research and administration as well as clinical services and to closely cooperate with all disciplines of the LMU Small Animal Clinic. The LMU Small Animal Clinic is a state-of-the-art facility that is ideally suited to further develop a successful anaesthesia and analgesia program. In the future, an anaesthesia and analgesia service across all species is planned.
Requirements
LMU Munich seeks to appoint a clinically skilled, highly qualified junior academic to this professorship and, therefore, especially encourages early-career scholars to apply. Prerequisites for this position are a university degree in veterinary medicine and a doctoral degree or a comparable specific qualification. With an excellent record in research and teaching to date, prospective candidates will have to demonstrate their potential for an outstanding academic career. Excellent team and communication skills as well as the willingness to play a leading role in the future development of the anaesthesia and analgesia service are expected. Experience in raising third party resources is desirable. International board certification of the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ECVAA) and/or of the American College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA) is required; if international board certification is not available yet, ECVAA or ACVAA residency-trained candidates that are board-eligible and have a national specialty title are also eligible for the position. Scholarly activity and participation in collaborative research corresponding to a clinical tenure track faculty position will be expected. According to domestic legal guidelines (TAppV), the successful applicant will be responsible for teaching veterinary students in anaesthesia and analgesia.
The initial appointment will be for six years. After a minimum of three years, it can be converted into a permanent position pending a positive evaluation of the candidate’s performance in research and teaching as well as his or her personal aptitude and if all legal conditions are met.
As communication with students, staff, patient owners, industry and stakeholders will require knowledge of spoken and written German, it is required for the successful candidate to demonstrate the sincere willingness to become proficient in German.
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. Furthermore, disabled candidates with essentially equal qualifications will be given preference.
