Postdocs (m/f/d) incl. possibility to earn post-doctoral lecturing qualification (habilitation)

The Department of Public Law at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany (Director: Prof. Dr. Ralf Poscher) is seeking to recruit several Postdocs (w/m/div) incl. possibility to earn post-doctoral lecturing qualification (habilitation) at the earliest possible starting date.

The candidates have research interests in the areas of public security law, fundamental aspects of public law, or legal philosophy and legal theory. Your research interest or specific research project (description limited to three pages) aligns with the research program of our department.

The prerequisite for the position is a doctorate with excellent results in law, in related humanities, or in the social sciences. Your PhD dissertation in English or German will have been awarded ”summa cum laude” or the highest grade in another grading system.

Candidates with a state examination in law could pursue a habilitation – post-doctoral lecturing qualification – if they meet the necessary requirements. Speaking German is an asset but not a prerequisite for the position.
