The Otto Friedrich University Bamberg was certified by the Hertie foundation to be a family-friendly university and is committed to achieving a family/work balance for its employees.

 Applicants from abroad who in their country of current employment or residence would meet the requirements for a tenured professorial position are strongly encouraged to apply. While knowledge of the German language is required for an appointment to this position, in exceptional cases all teaching for the first two years could be in English.
