| Full Professorship (W3) for Functional Proteomics |
We are looking for candidates with an internationally visible and competitive research programme in the proteomic analysis of structure and dynamics of signalling complexes/pathways and networks. We expect a strong expertise in the identification of proteins in complex mixtures, the analysis of posttranslational modifications of proteins and quantitative mass spectrometry. Models can be prokaryotic, plants as well as other eukaryotic organisms or systems. A special research focus of the professorship should be on the analysis of biological signalling pathways. A close integration into the Cluster of Excellence CIBSS and into the Signalling Research Centre BIOSS is expected. It is further desired, that the professorship contributes to other collaborative research programmes such as CRCs 1381, CRC-TRR 130, or RTG 2202 and that it is actively involved in new initiatives, for example in a planned CRC initiative in plant sciences. In addition, the position offers the opportunity to profitably integrate into an existing, broad local cooperation network. With regard to teaching, it is expected that the professorship will contribute to the Bachelor and Master study programs. Prerequisites for the employment of Professors are a university degree, an outstanding dissertation and an excellent publication record. Substantial achievements and experience in academic research and teaching, at the level of a Habilitation according to the German academic system are expected. We are particularly pleased to receive applications from women for the position advertised here. The following application documents are to be submitted:

| Full Professorship (W3) for Plant Cell Biology |
This professorship is also particularly suitable for highly qualified early career researchers. We seek an internationally renowned scientist in the field of plant molecular biology, who preferentially investigates current topics within the field of molecular plant cell biology using biochemical and/or metabolic approaches. Aspects of signal perception and signal transduction should be visible. Research on plant membranes, the cell wall or metabolic signalling pathways are desirable but not mandatory requirements. The scientific profile of the candidate should integrate well into the over-arching thematic focus “Cellular adaptations of plants to varying environmental cues”. The holder of the professorship will be responsible for teaching all aspects of Cell Biology and Biochemistry of Plants at Bachelor, Master, and PhD level. Given the diversity within the University of Freiburg with its currently funded clusters of excellence CIBSS and livMatS and its close collaborations with local Max-Planck- and Fraunhofer Institutes as well as governmental state institutions, Freiburg is a highly competitive and internationally renowned research location and – together with the University of Basle (CH), the University of Strasbourg (F), the University Haute-Alsace (F) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (D) – also part of the „European Campus“. Prerequisites for the employment of Professors are a university degree, an outstanding dissertation and an excellent publication record. Substantial achievements and experience in academic research and teaching, at the level of a Habilitation according to the German academic system, are expected.

| Junior Professorship for Microbiology in the field of molecular physiology of prokaryotes |
This is a grade W1-professorship to which performance payments can be offered. This professorship is suitable for highly qualified early career researchers at an early stage in their careers. Conditions governing the appointment in accordance with section 51 (3) LHG apply. We seek for candidates with an outstanding research record on a topic in the field of physiology of prokaryotes such as metabolism, cellular functions, regulation, interaction with the environment or with other organisms. The candidate should use molecular approaches for research on a current research topic. The profile of the candidate should allow for interactions with research groups of related topics in the faculties of Biology, Pharmacy and Chemistry and/or Medicine. A fit into current and planned interfaculty collaborative initiatives such as graduate schools, collaborative research centers or cluster of excellence is expected. Prerequisites for the employment are a university degree, an outstanding dissertation and an excellent publication record. This position is a fixed term of four years. After a successful interim evaluation, it will be extended by two years. We are particularly pleased to receive applications from women for the position advertised here.

| Tenure-Track Professorship for „Plant Developmental Signalling” |
We seek a young and already successful scientist with an active research program in the field of Plant Developmental Genetics and Signalling. The focus of the work should be on molecular signaling processes that trigger, steer and/or terminate developmental aspects of tissue and/or organ development. The successful candidate will be part of the Excellence Cluster CIBSS Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies, which aims at understanding signaling mechanism across biological scales, and to develop new tools to control cellular and organ functions. The candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to a planned collaborative research centre (CRC/SFB) on plant-environment interactions, and to interact with the local DFG-funded graduate school GRK2344. We expect active participation in the trinational curriculum in biotechnology with the École Supérieure de Biotechnologie Strasbourg, and teaching in Plant Genetics and Plant Developmental Signalling at Bachelor, Master, and Ph.D. level. The University of Freiburg is a leading research university with two Excellence Clusters, CIBSS and livMatS, several collaborative research centers and very strong graduate training programs. Freiburg is a highly com-petitive and internationally renowned research location and – together with the University of Basel (CH), the University of Strasbourg (F), the University Haute-Alsace (F) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (D) – also part of the „European Campus“. Prerequisites for the employment are a university degree, an outstanding dissertation and an excellent publication record. This position is a fixed term of four years. After a successful interim evaluation, it will be extended by two years. Furthermore, the tenure procedure towards Full Professorship W3 will be initiated after successful interim evaluation. The tenure procedures are regulated in the Statutes and Quality Assurance Concept for Junior Professor-ships and Tenure-Track Professorships and agreed upon with the Ministry of Science (https://www.zuv.uni-freiburg.de/service/tenure). As a prerequisite for granting tenure and the subsequent conversion into a full professorship (W3) (1) the requirements defined in the Statutes and Quality Assurance Concept have to be met and (2) the subject specific criteria determined by the Faculty of Biology have to be met. The following application documents are to be submitted: In addition, we require the completed application form. Submit this form together with the above-mentioned supporting documents stating the reference number 01181 by 15.10.2020 at the latest.
