The professorship is made possible through the generous support of the Stiftung BRH, which advances interdisciplinary rehabilitation in research and teaching with an annual contribution for at least 15 years and a one-time initial funding.

Endowed Professorship (Extraordinariat) for Interdisciplinary and Interprofessional Rehabilitation to be filled by agreement. Tasks of the professorship: The successful candidate will build an innovative research center in the field of musculoskeletal, internist-oncological, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. The promotion of interdisciplinary and interprofessional cooperation is a central component of the activity. This includes close cooperation within the University of Bern, with the Berner Fachhochschule as well as with external clinical and academic partners. Furthermore, the development and implementation of study programs in the field of rehabilitation is among the core tasks, particularly with a focus on integrative and cross-professional treatment concepts as well as on prehabilitation. Another goal is the establishment of a teaching and research center for rehabilitation that has an international impact. In addition, digital aids and medical informatics should be used effectively to improve the results of rehabilitation. Requirements for applicants: The ideal person possesses a medical background with sound experience in rehabilitation and demonstrates proven research experience in this area as well as in relevant adjacent disciplines. A habilitation or a comparable research qualification is a prerequisite. They bring experience in interprofessional teaching and cooperation, particularly in promoting synergies between different specialist departments, and possess the ability to successfully acquire third-party funds and lead innovative research projects. Excellent communication and leadership skills are decisive to lead diverse interdisciplinary and interprofessional teams efficiently and sustainably. Profound knowledge in the use of digital technologies and medical informatics in rehabilitation, particularly in the development and implementation of digital solutions to support patient care, is equally an advantage as is the ability to directly connect scientific findings with clinical practice and continuously improve the quality of care. Good international networking as well as a demonstrably successful publication activity are expected. The ability to link and integrate various specialist groups to promote innovative approaches in rehabilitation is just as important as experience in writing sophisticated scientific texts in German and English.
