The University of Koblenz is the youngest university in Germany – while also preserving a long-standing academic
tradition. A multitude of transdisciplinary research projects spanning several institutions concentrated on a com-
pact campus favourably affects our university routine. As the interdisciplinary university in the north of Rhineland-
Palatinate with more than 9,700 students, we live the knowledge – transformation – innovation triad in our four
profile areas “Education”, “Computer Science”, “Culture and its Mediation” as well as “Material and Environment”.
We provide and conduct state-of-the-art teacher-training studies for all school types and maintain the transfer of
our research results to civic society and regional businesses in a resilient and sustainable way. Join an aspiring
university community and aid in advancing our further growth!
Faculty 1: Educational Sciences offers a temporary
at the Department for Nursing Science which is to be
filled as soon as possible.
The research profile of Faculty 1: Educational Sciences
comprises the five focal points "System and Organisa-
tion", "Difference and Heterogeneity", "Culture and
Knowledge", "Individual Development and Change" and
"Health and Resilience". With their closely related re-
search and teaching in teaching and non-teaching de-
gree programmes, the educational sciences contribute
to enlightenment and the generation of knowledge for
science and society - also in a regional context.
The Institute of Nursing Science is being established at
Faculty 1, which currently primarily ensures teacher
training for vocational schools for the nursing profes-
sion in Rhineland-Palatinate, as well as developing and
implementing new research and study specialisations in
cooperation with the other institutes and faculties.
The Professorship for Nursing Didactics comple-
ments two professorships specialising in nursing
science and is therefore one of the three corner-
stones of the Institute of Nursing Science.
The professorship is responsible for the conception, im-
plementation and development of the subject of nurs-
ing didactics for the vocational teaching profession.
Key responsibilities:
The position holder will be responsible for representing
the subject of nursing didactics in research and teach-
ing.
Research is expected to focus on the field of vocational
education in the digital world. An emphasis on learning
location cooperation as well as interdisciplinary collab-
oration with other subject didactics will be a plus.
In addition, active engagement in the acquisition of
third-party funding will be expected.
The position holder’s responsibilities will include ac-
tively recruiting and developing young scientists.
The teaching obligation is four hours per week per se-
mester (SWS) until the interval evaluation, after which it
increases to six hours per week per semester. For W2
professorships the teaching obligation is currently nine
hours per week per semester.
Teaching is to be provided primarily in the teaching
methodology courses of the teacher training degree
programs offered and to a lesser extent in subject spe-
cific courses that are especially relevant to teacher train-
ing.
Administering with examinations in all degree programs
in the field of Nursing Science is also required.
The willingness to cooperate across and within disci-
plines and in general is a prerequisite, particularly in the
context of the Center of Teacher Education.
In addition, participation in academic self-government
activities are optional. Only after the interval evaluation
are they compulsory.
Likewise, the position holder shapes the subject
through her/his own ideas and emphases and actively
generates initiatives.
