systems.

Conditions of appointment are in accordance with § 25, Niedersachsen
Higher Education Act (NHG).

Leibniz Universität Hannover is a member of Niedersachsen Institutes

Part time employment can be arranged on request.  As an equal
opportunities employer, Leibniz Universität Hannover has set itself
the strategic aim of significantly increasing the proportion of
women. Female scientists are therefore particularly encouraged to
apply. Applications from abroad are especially welcome. Equally
qualified candidates with disabilities will be given preference.

In its mission statement, Leibniz Universität Hannover attaches great
importance to the international orientation of teaching and
research. At the same time, it places major value on the intensive
guidance and support of its students and on the university's close
ties to the region and to Lower Saxony. Its professors are thus
expected to take up residence in the Region of Hannover. Successful
candidates who have reached the age of fifty by the time of
appointment and who do not already have civil servant status will be
given an employment contract.

Committee, Prof. Wolfgang Nejdl, (Tel. 0511 762-19710,
