Qualification requirements
Applicants are expected to have a PhD in church history with focus on early modern church history and to be able to demonstrate further research in this field.

Moreover, the applicant is expected to prove his/her competence in teaching church history on the level of associate professors.

Finally, the applicant should have experience from academic counsels and boards and other efforts to strengthen the collegiate and student environment respectively.
The associate professor is expected to divide their efforts equally between teaching and research (including administration and communication). Competence in both areas is therefore essential (more information below).
