Goethe University Frankfurt is one of Germany's prominent universities and a founding member of the association of the country's leading research universities.

We pride ourselves on being a family-friendly institution. To support our staff and students, we offer flexible working arrangements, childcare facilities, and family support services. Additionally, we recognize the importance of supporting dual-career couples and assist partners of newly appointed faculty in finding suitable employment opportunities.

Goethe University is steadfast in its commitment to fostering equal opportunities, embracing diversity, and ensuring inclusion. We particularly encourage applications from qualified women and individuals with a background of migration, and place significant emphasis on cultivating a family-friendly work environment. Furthermore, candidates with severe disabilities, or with equivalent status, will receive preferential consideration when qualifications are equal. This inclusive approach also extends to supporting women in fields where they are currently underrepresented.

The Center for Critical Computational Studies (C3S) is Goethe University's latest innovation hub of inter- and transdisciplinary exploration, encompassing computer sciences, natural and life science, and social sciences, as well as health, economics, law, and the humanities. We aim to deepen our understanding of complex systems through a critical-computational lens; scrutinize the impact of computational technologies in shaping societal realities; and craft strategies for the responsible design and utilization of these technologies.
