Leuphana University of Luneburg

Germany, Reinstorf (Luneburg)


HUMANISTIC. SUSTAINABLE. ENTREPRENEURIAL. Leuphana University of Lüneburg stands for innovation in research and education. Methodological diversity, interdisciplinary collaboration, transdisciplinary cooperation with partners outside academia and a dynamic development characterize its research profile in the fields of education, culture, management & technology, sustainability as well as public affairs. Its award-winning study model is organized into the Leuphana College, the Leuphana Graduate School and the Leuphana Professional School. The School of Management and Technology at Leuphana University Lüneburg invites applications for the following endowed full professorship: Entrepreneurship (W3) In research and teaching, the professorship represents entrepreneurship as an interdisciplinary skill for the future – a creative, responsible, and action-oriented field that ranges from start-ups and spin-offs to self-employment and social, sustainable, and cultural innovations. With a view to the necessary knowledge, practices, and mindset of entrepreneurs, the professorship analyzes for example, different phases, practices, and processes of founding and entrepreneurship, the set-up and responsible management of a company, and the development and scaling of innovation-oriented business models. In addition, social dimensions such as the significance, responsibility, and transformative aspects of entrepreneurial activity are addressed and reflected upon. In doing so, you will be able to combine business, psychological, technological, and social science perspectives. For this position, we are looking for a committed personality with an excellent research profile in the field of entrepreneurship. Methodologically, you have strong analytical skills and sound quantitative and/or qualitative methodological knowledge. You demonstrate your research excellence through a continuous track record of publications in highly regarded international journals, as well as a promising publication pipeline and a viable publication strategy for the coming years. You have built up a lively network and are active in leading national and international scientific associations, conferences, and societies (e.g., AoM, SMS, EGOS, Babson). You have experience in conducting self-acquired competitive third-party funded projects, ideally also in cooperation with industry, as well as in leading (research) teams. In the area of teaching, we are looking for a person who can create an inspiring teaching and learning environment that prepares students for entrepreneurial activities in a methodical manner and also fosters the necessary mindset. You have experience in teaching subject-specific courses, ideally using innovative formats and teaching methods. Only one part of the teaching obligation within the professorship is to be fulfilled in undergraduate teaching. Therefore, you will develop additional innovative, practice-oriented teaching and transfer formats (e.g., incubators, idea competitions, coaching, entrepreneurship workshops). You will work closely with the emerging Entrepreneurship Center, the Start-up Service, SCHuB, and the Yunus Center. You would be willing to take on a creative role in the Entrepreneurship Center. You enjoy working with students and on practice-oriented projects with external partners. In addition, you are committed to supporting researchers in the qualification phase and have a track record of successful supervision. Most of our courses at the bachelor's and master's level are taught in English, so corresponding English language skills are expected. The professorship is embedded in an attractive, dynamic research, teaching, and innovation environment at the School of Management and Technology, where several professorships with different entrepreneurship foci are active. Leuphana offers excellent opportunities for cooperation within the university and with partners from science, business, and society. You share the idea of a university as an educational community. You are expected to support the school's mission in research, teaching, and knowledge transfer and to strive for social impact. You have a clear concept of how you will contribute to the school's interdisciplinary research profile (which includes entrepreneurship, sustainability management, digitalization, transformation, sustainable product development processes) and how to cooperate with colleagues at Leuphana as well as with stakeholder groups from politics, business, and civil society. You have a role in the development of a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem (innovation community) and can demonstrate relevant experience or have an approach for how you will fulfill this role. Your own entrepreneurial experience or start-up(s) would be beneficial. The professional position will be filled in accordance with the pay grade W3 (equivalent to a university full professorship). Formal requirements are based on § 25 of the Lower Saxony Higher Education Act (NHG), and include a university degree and a doctoral degree in a discipline relevant to the open position; your aptitude for teaching; and your ability to engage in independent academic research as demonstrated by the above-average quality of your dissertation; and other academic achievements obtained, i.e., in the course of being an assistant professor, during your postdoctoral lecture qualification (German: Habilitation) or other achievements recognized as being equivalent to a postdoctoral qualification. At Leuphana University Lüneburg, you will find an academic community that is open to different perspectives and cultivates dialogue between disciplines and between research and practice. We are committed to addressing the challenges of the 21st century civil society with dedication and vigour. As an institution in the liberal arts tradition, we guide our students to think, question and act independently. Our professors promote PR(i)ME and awareness of gender and diversity issues in both teaching and research. Active participation in academic self-administration is expected. Leuphana University is an equal opportunities employer. The university aims to increase its number of female professors. Qualified women are especially invited to apply.
