Specific Requirements
Your personal sphere of influence:
Within the IfGR, your future position is assigned to the working group for spatial research and spatial planning under Univ.-Prof. Dr. Meike Levin-Keitel. The group engages in both traditional research in planning sciences and transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research approaches in social-ecological research. Furthermore, we are particularly committed to the fundamental examination of spatial planning as a science and its scientific advancement.
As a university assistant pre-doc, you will complement the research team focusing on spatial planning, especially planning theories. You will represent this research area in teaching and research, and you will be able to set your own focus regarding your planned dissertation. The working group for spatial research and spatial planning is currently in the process of development and consists of Uni.-Prof. Dr. Meike Levin-Keitel and, in the future, additional postdoc and pre-doc positions, as well as administrative colleagues.

Your future tasks:
You will actively participate in research, teaching, and administration, which means:
- You will contribute to research projects and scientific studies in the field of spatial planning.
- We expect you to complete your dissertation agreement within 12-18 months.
- You will work on your dissertation and its completion.
- You will independently conduct teaching activities within the scope of the collective agreement regulations.
- You will take on administrative tasks in research and teaching.
This is part of your personality:
- Completed master's or diploma degree in the fields of spatial planning, geography, environmental sciences, architecture, interdisciplinary studies, or similar planning-oriented disciplines.
- Initial experience in academic writing and familiarity with research methods (interest in both qualitative and quantitative methods).
- Didactic skills and teaching experience are advantageous.
- Desirable knowledge in international discourses of spatial planning as well as fundamentals of planning in the German-speaking region. Knowledge of planning theoretical approaches and debates, along with in-depth understanding of a planning-related subfield (such as transformative planning, regional green structures, affordable housing, or similar, acquired, for example, through the master's thesis).
- Excellent proficiency in both English and German (C1 level).
- You are a team player with high social and communicative competence.
