Open Position: Professorship of Anthropology of South Asia (f/m/d) - Tenure Track Professorship (W1 to W3) or Full Professor (W3)

The Faculty of Behavioural and Cultural Studies at Heidelberg University invites applications for a Professorship of “Anthropology of South Asia” (f/m/d), Tenure Track Professorship (W1 to W3) or Full Professor (W3), starting in the Summer Term 2026.

The committee will consider applications from both established scholars and excellent early career researchers in the post-doc phase. In case of a successful application from the first group, the appointment would be at the W3 level; otherwise, it would be at the W1 level with a tenure track option. Tenure track professorships at Heidelberg University are initially limited to six years and, upon positive tenure evaluation, transition into a permanent W3 professorship.

Please send your application by e-mail to the Dean of the Faculty of Behavioural and Cultural Studies at Heidelberg University (studiendekanat@verkult.uni-heidelberg.de) by December 4, 2024.
