Bern, March 2011
The University of Berne offers an Associate Professorship for History and Cultures of Latin America
in the Department of History starting 1 February 2012 (latest start date: 1 August 2012).
The Professorship is affiliated with the Center for Global Studies at the Faculty of Humanities. Applicants are expected to have wide-ranging perspectives on Latin American History from the beginning of the Early Modern era, in both teaching and research. Candidates should have research expertise that facilitates co-operation within the department and with the Center for Global Studies, as well as with other disciplines in the humanities. Previous experience in negotiating external funding as well as the willingness to actively participate in establishing doctoral programmes (third stage of Bologna reform) would be an asset. Applicants are expected to supervise students, and show committed participation in the directorate of the department and the board of the Center for Global Studies, as well as in faculty work and university duties.
Academic requirements for this position are a Habilitation or equivalent academic qualification.
The University of Bern is committed to equal opportunities in employment, in particular to increasing the number of women in senior academic positions. Women are therefore encouraged to apply.
Applications giving details of qualifications, experience on academic panels and with external funding, a list of publications as well as of courses taught, together with a CV, should be sent in paper form to Dekanat der Phil.-Hist.
