Mathilde Planck Contract Lectureships (MPL)

The Mathilde Planck Contract Lectureships programme offers women the opportunity to qualify for professorship by teaching at a public Baden-Württemberg university of applied sciences, college of art or music, or at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW). The programme is designed to increase the percentage of female professors in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The contract lectureships provide remuneration according to university-internal tariffs for a maximum teaching load of 4 hours per week over 4 semesters. The state funds the lectureships while the specific higher education institution may bear travel costs. Eligible candidates must be women with particular competence in scientific or artistic work and a higher education degree. To qualify, candidates must hold a state-recognised higher education degree, demonstrate particular competence in academic or artistic work (generally through completion of a doctorate or evidenced by artistic recognition), or have at least 2 years of professional experience outside the higher education sector with a specific doctoral research project. Candidates must not have held a teaching assignment at the respective higher education institution in the last 2 semesters.
