The University of Bremen, a mid-sized university with approximately 250
professorships and 19,000 students, offers a broad range of disciplines and
competes internationally in top-level research. With an ambitious institutional
strategy the university was successful in the
Excellence Initiative as one of eleven universities in Germany.

Bridge Professorships will now strengthen the high profile areas of the
university by creating new relationships between the university and the
non-university research partners and thus opening innovative fields of
research.

The University of Bremen (Faculty 8) is offering – conditional to the release of
budgetary funds – the position of a

Qualitative methods of social research and micro-sociological approach

The chair which belongs to the Institute of Sociology at the University of
Bremen is expected to contribute to a deepening of cooperation with the social
scientists at the University of Oldenburg.

The chair is dedicated to qualitative methods of social research in a
mixed-methods perspective. The candidate should also demonstrate the ability
and willingness to use and teach basic quantitative methods. Applicants are
welcome who follow a micro-sociological approach to at least one of the
following topics: social inequality, life-course/biography, welfare state
research. An integral component of this position is to collaborate with
research centers and to prepare applications for third party funding of
collaborative research groups at the University of Bremen. The methodological
as well as the substantial competencies should be documented in appropriate
publications, preferably peer-reviewed journals. Teaching focuses mainly on
research methods at BA and MA level. Applicants must be able to teach in
English and are expected to have acquired teaching skills in German after 2 to
3 years.

We expect a readiness to cooperate in research with other research areas within
and outside the University of Bremen. We also expect the applicant’s readiness
to acquire third-party funds as well as openness to innovations in teaching
methods. Experience with media-supported forms of teaching is desirable as well
as the readiness to consider gender aspects in research and teaching.

The University of Bremen has received a number of awards for its diversity
policies. We strive to increase the number of female researchers and
particularly solicit applications from suitably qualified female candidates.
International applications and applications on the part of academics with a
migration background are explicitly welcome. Disabled persons with the same
professional and personal qualifications will be given preference.
