This is a fixed-term position according to the provisions of the German “wissenschaftliches Zeitvertragsgesetz” (typically 6 years for a “habilitation”).

The position includes a teaching requirement of 4 hours per week in French and possibly Italian linguistics and participation in the administrative tasks of the department. Exceptional applicants in the final phase of their doctoral research will also be considered.
