Scientific environment
The professorship belongs to the TUM School of Medicine and will be part of the Department of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy, a large diagnostic and research institution for morphomolecular human and comparative pathology. TUM School of Medicine is one of Germany’s top medical schools in research and in teaching. Close interactions with the life science, bioinformatics, systems medicine and data science groups at TUM enable innova-tive, interdisciplinary and translational research. To foster interdisciplinary research focusing on morphomolecular biomarker discoveries, TUM has also advertised a professorship in Computational Pathology, belonging to the same department.

Responsibilities
Responsibilities of the position include research and teaching, as well as the promotion of early-career scientists. We seek to appoint an expert in translational morphomelcular pathology, preferably in the field of oncology, to further promote innovative and internationally visible advances in this area of research. The successful applicant is also intended to assume duties in the diagnostics and management structure of the Department of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy.
The teaching load includes courses in the subject area and basic courses offered by the TUM School of Medicine, as well as courses for other TUM schools and departments.

Successful candidates show pedagogical aptitude, including the ability to teach in English. Substantial research experience abroad are expected. Moreover, candidates should possess a proven ability to acquire third-party funding for cooperative research projects (e.g. DFG, EU, BMBF) and - depending on the career level - to lead such projects.
