The Hannover Medical School (MHH) is seeking applicants for a
Professorship
in Regenerative Therapies of the Auditory System
(Professorial Grade W2, BBesO)
in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology. The postholder will enjoy privileged (non-union) employment status.
The professorship has been established in connection with the Excellence Cluster on “Hearing and its Disorders Oldenburg-Hannover“ and will initially entail a fixed-term period of five years; it may however, subsequently involve a permanent contract of employment. The postholder’s remit will be research and teaching in the field of Regenerative Therapy. The successful applicant will have a distinguished reputation in aspects of, and methods in, regenerative medicine and molecular biology. The postholder will be proficient in the full range of modern methods for addressing issues relating to the regeneration of the peripheral and central auditory system. The ideal candidate will have particular experience in the use of stem cells, and interests that closely correspond to the subject matter of the German Research Foundation’s (DFG) Excellence Cluster entitled “Rebirth” (www.rebirth-hannover.de). The successful applicant will have teaching experience. Participation in the PhD programme of the Centre for Systems Neurosciences (ZSN) is desirable.
Disabled candidates with equivalent qualifications will receive preferential consideration.
The Hannover Medical School is seeking to increase the proportion of female scientific personnel and thus especially welcomes applications from women with relevant qualifications. Applicants must fulfil the employment requirements of the Higher Education Act of Lower Saxony (NHG) (§ 25). Further information can be obtained on request.
Applications including a personal data sheet, a list of publications, reprints of the five most important publications, documentary evidence of third-party funds procured, and a list of courses taught, should be submitted to the following address:

The Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Hannover Medical School (Director and Chairman: Professor Thomas Lenarz, M.D., Ph.D.) is seeking, in connection with the Transregio 37 project on “Functional Micro- and Nanosystems in Medicine: Reconstructing Biological Functions”, a
RESEARCH ASSISTANT (to start immediately)
with a keen interest in innovative biomedical research. We welcome applications from
biophysicists, bioinformation technologists, physicists, or electrical engineers.
The postholder will support our interdisciplinary and international working group in the implementation and evaluation of experimental work involving the optoacoustic stimulation of the cochlea in situ and in animal studies.
The work will centre around the application of electrophysiological methods (including the patch clamp technique and multi-array analysis). Programming skills (Matlab, C++) are essential in order to use both the system and the program components and to tailor them to specific study objectives. Experience of signal analysis, modelling and simulation is also desirable, as is basic knowledge of audiology.
This is a fixed-term project running until 30 June 2011. The position is a full-time post not suitable for part-time work. Pay is according to the German TV-L 13 salary scale. We are an equal-opportunities employer.

The Hannover Medical School (MHH) is seeking applicants for a permanent
Research Professorship in Experimental Otology
(Professorial Grade W3)
in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology. The postholder will enjoy privileged (non-union) employment status.
The position entails leadership of the Department of Experimental Audiology. The range of responsibilities includes the development of an experimental research strategy and the coordination of research in close collaboration with the Chairman of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology. Research projects focus on problem areas in clinical application and their transformation into suitable research strategies. The aim is their integration into existing collaborative research centres and other research networks as well as into the Hannover Center for Systems Neuroscience.
The applicant should be an internationally renowned figure in the field of electrophysiology of the auditory system and must possess managerial qualities. The candidate should have experimental experience with microelectrode recording in the region of the auditory nerve and the central auditory system, including electrical stimulation with both cochlear implants and central auditory prostheses. The applicant’s field of activity should also extend to include the plasticity and reorganisation of the peripheral and central auditory system. Another area of work is the development of test procedures for cochlear implant systems, including the development of objective measures with clinical applicability. The applicant should also have experience of complex data-processing methods and modulation. Moreover, he or she must provide evidence of procured third-party funds. A further qualification criterion is the publication of the applicant’s works in prestigious international scientific journals. A postdoctoral lecturing qualification in the field of audiology, physiology, physics or biophysics, or an equivalent scientific achievement, is a further requirement.
The successful applicant will be especially committed to student teaching, including involvement in interdisciplinary courses as defined under the new German educational law for medical schools in the “HannibaL” pilot study programme of the Hannover Medical School.
Disabled candidates with equivalent qualifications will receive preferential consideration.
The Hannover Medical School is seeking to increase the proportion of female scientific personnel and thus especially welcomes applications from women with relevant qualifications.
Applicants must fulfil the employment requirements of the Higher Education Act of Lower Saxony (§ 25). Further information can be obtained on request.
