                 FRIEDRICH SCHILLER UNIVERSITY JENA

      Professorship (W3) in Business Administration/Financial
                     and Managerial Accounting


     The School of Economics and Business Administration at the
     Friedrich Schiller University Jena offers the following
     position to be filled as of the summer semester 2008:
     Professorship (W3) in Business Administration/Financial and
     Managerial Accounting.


     JOB DESCRIPTION/QUALIFICATIONS:

     The successful candidate is expected to represent the
     entire field of Financial and Managerial Accounting both in
     research and teaching. Applicants should have an
     outstanding record in research, particularly in Financial
     Accounting and Reporting - based on both national and
     international standards - and should approach Financial
     Accounting issues mainly from a Business Administration
     perspective. Additional research experience covering issues
     on the interface with Managerial Accounting (Controlling)
     would be welcomed. All specializations will be considered,
     but special attention will be given to applicants who are
     familiar with institutional and procedural aspects and have
     a strong publication record in theoretical or empirical
     issues, especially regarding the value-focused management
     of firms in a capital markets context.

     As the School of Economics and Business Administration is
     currently in the process of introducing consecutive degree
     programs and strengthening its research profile, applicants
     are expected to actively collaborate in the Research Focal
     Point of managerial teaching and research, "Accounting,
     Taxation, and Capital Markets," including its further -
     interdisciplinary - development and the coordination of
     teaching programs. In particular, coordination with the
     Junior Professorship in "Business Administration and
     Managerial Accounting," a position which is also currently
     being filled, as well as with the chair teams involved in
     the Research Focal Point in matters of syllabus design will
     be essential.

     Applicants should take an active role in raising research
     funding from outside sources and are expected to
     collaborate in existing and projected graduate programs
     both of the School and the University. To advance the
     internationalization of the School's research and teaching
     profile, English is envisaged as the main language of
     instruction, though English-speaking applicants should have
     a fair understanding of German.

     Prerequisites for this position are both a doctoral degree
     and a postdoctoral teaching qualification or equivalent
     scientific achievements as well as pedagogical skills. As
     the School of Economics and Business Administration
     intends to increase its female academic staff, it follows
     the principle of affirmative action and encourages
     applications by qualified women scientists.

     Physically challenged applicants with equal qualifications
     and experience will be given priority over other
     applicants. In case of an applicant's first appointment,
     employment will initially be on a time-limited basis,
     though exceptions are possible.


     APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

     Applicants should send their complete application papers
     (curriculum vitae, copies of certificates, list of
     publications, list of teaching experiences, and details of
     funding related to successful grant applications) no later
     than January 31, 2008, to:
