With respect to content and methodology, the prospective candidate shall represent the entire spectrum of research and teaching in the subject area of “Islam in Social Work”. The candidate will be expected to teach courses, supervise bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral theses, and contribute to expanding the Centre for Islamic Theology in Münster.

The chair is assigned to the Centre for Islamic Theology at the University of Münster. Consequently, the candidate will be expected to work closely with the other areas of the Centre. Furthermore, the candidate will be required to assume some of the administrative tasks at the Centre.

Research and teaching experience in the area “Social Work” should be appropriately substantiated. Candidates should also possess good communication skills in Turkish and, if applicable, Arabic, as well as have excellent knowledge of the German language.

The position is initially limited to three years with the possibility of a three‑year extension following a positive interim evaluation. Upon receiving a positive final evaluation, the appointee will be granted a permanent W2‑level appointment.

We welcome all applicants regardless of sex, nationality, ethnic or social background, religion or worldview, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We are committed to creating family-friendly working conditions.

We actively encourage applications by women. Women with equivalent qualifications and academic achievements will be preferentially considered unless these are outweighed by reasons which necessitate the selection of another candidate.
