As seen in the 03 July issue of Science:

The Faculty of Natural Sciences invites applications for a tenured

W3 Professorship for

Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry (Chair)

(in succession of Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Rudi van Eldik)

The successful candidate is expected to represent the field of Inorganic Chemistry in
research and teaching at the university. The research interests of the applicant should
strengthen current and ongoing activities of the Department of Chemistry & Pharmacy
in the area of inorganic molecular synthesis with potential applications in catalysis
and/or molecular materials. Based on innovative synthesis concepts, the design,
development and application of novel, functional and complex systems are envisioned.

The future chair of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry will be joining a strongly
interdisciplinary environment. The diversity of research currently undertaken by the
chemistry faculty is characterized by programs like the Excellence Cluster "Engineering
of Advanced Materials", the Graduate School of "Molecular Science" and the DFG
Research Initiative 583 "Redox Active Metal Complexes". Active participation in these
programs and corresponding follow-up initiatives will be appreciated.

Qualifications of interested candidates include a university doctoral degree, an
established record of teaching at the university level and a habilitation or equivalent
qualification that may have been gained outside the university or during an
Assistant/Associate Professorship.

Candidates for this position should be aged 52 years or under at the time of
appointment. Exceptions may be considered in certain cases as determined by the
Ministry for Science, Research and Art, subject to approval by the Ministry of Finance.

The University of Erlangen-Nuremberg actively encourages applications from
female candidates as part of our ongoing commitment to increase female
representation in research and teaching. Disabled candidates are given preference
if equally qualified.

Application documents (curriculum vitae, photograph, list of publications and teaching
activities, certified copies of degree documents but no publications) and a brief
statement of research interests are due on September 25, 2009, the latest and should
be mailed to: Dekan der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät, Friedrich-Alexander-
Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Universitätsstraße 40, 91054 Erlangen, Germany.
