About this position
Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg is offering a doctoral position in chemistry education research within a collaborative German Research Foundation project. The project examines how authentic, context-based learning environments can foster interest in chemistry education.
The doctoral researcher will plan, organize, and conduct empirical studies in student laboratories and regular chemistry classrooms. The work combines quantitative and qualitative data analysis within a mixed-methods research design, including the use of advanced statistical approaches. The researcher will also contribute to designing and evaluating context-based teaching and learning materials and supporting their transfer into school practice.
The role includes publishing and presenting findings nationally and internationally, contributing to teacher professional development, supervising student assistants, and co-supervising undergraduate theses. The doctoral research project will be independently developed and jointly agreed within the wider research programme, offering a clearly defined framework and collaboration with a second chemistry education research team.
The position is based at FAU’s Faculty of Philosophy and Department of Theology in Nuremberg and is embedded in a multi-site research team focused on empirical chemistry education, school-based learning, and innovative teaching environments.
Funding details
The position is part-time at 30 hours per week and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for 36 months, from the employment period through January 31, 2030. It is remunerated under TV-L E 13 and includes a fully funded opportunity to pursue a doctorate, annual bonus, occupational pension and asset accumulation schemes, paid leave, professional development opportunities, conference participation, and flexible or partly remote working arrangements.
What's required
Applicants must hold a First State Examination for a teaching qualification or a master's degree in chemistry, or an equivalent master's degree in chemistry qualifying them to teach at secondary school level. Applicants should be interested in chemistry education research and pursuing a doctorate. Knowledge of empirical research methods and quantitative statistics, especially R and/or SPSS, is desirable; experience with qualitative methods is welcome. Teaching or school-based experience and experience with out-of-school learning environments are advantageous. Candidates should work independently and in a structured manner, have strong organizational skills, collaborate effectively within a multi-site research team, and possess excellent German and good English language skills.
How to apply
Apply online using the FAU job application form at the direct application link. Include a brief outline of previous work in chemistry education or empirical research and explain possible links between your research interests and a doctoral project in the programme.
