The University of Kassel is highly interested in the professional satisfaction of its employees. It therefore promotes the compatibility of partnership and family with professional development through its Dual Career Service and its Family Welcome Service. One of the University of Kassel's strategic goals is to significantly increase the proportion of women in research and teaching. Applications from women are therefore particularly welcome. Severely disabled applicants with equal aptitude and qualifications will be given preference.
