Our campus – your place of work

When people talk about the special spirit of the University of Bayreuth, they almost always mention the friendly campus. People praise the excellent research environment or the top positions in national and international rankings. But none of this would be possible without the many employees dedicated to ensuring that the University's research and teaching operations run smoothly.

With more than 1,600 academic employees, including around 280 professors, and more than 1,000 non-academic employees, the University of Bayreuth is one of the largest employers in the region.

In addition to academic positions, the University of Bayreuth offers a wide range of career opportunities in research support and administrative services.
Bring your expertise to an inspiring environment and help us advance our mission by contributing to one of the many diverse and meaningful roles within our support staff.
