Call for applications: DAAD-Guest Professorship at the Aleksander Brückner Center for Polish Studies, Jena / Germany

The Aleksander Brückner Center for Polish Studies in Jena is looking for a short term guest professor, having her/his residence outside Germany, who would like to join our team for a period of one month from October 13 to December 19, 2025.

Tasks:

• teach a course (in English or German) on a topic within the range of your current research relating to Polish and Slavic literature and culture to MA and BA students from various disciplines
  • 28 academic hours, concentrated on two to three weekends
• participate in the activities of the Center
• engage in interdisciplinary discussions

Application forms (in one pdf):

• CV
• Doctoral diploma
• list of publications
• short outline of your course proposal

Deadline: April 30, 2025

We are especially interested in researchers who can give an engaging course that caters to an audience from the Humanities that does not necessarily specialize in Slavic Philology.

The lecturer will be hosted at the Aleksander Brückner Center in Jena and will receive a lump sum of 4,000 Euros to cover all expenses. The staff of the Center will support you in practical matters, e.g. finding accommodation and access to libraries.

Guest professors are expected to reside in Jena most of the time, pursue their research and interact with academic and other institutions in town.

If you are interested, please contact ewa.krauss@uni-jena.de

We are looking forward to read about your ideas!
