Equal Opportunities Officer (Department III of the University of Constance)

From November 2019 to September 2023, Prof. Dr. Wörner was the Section Equal Opportunities Officer and contact person for equal opportunities, family support and diversity at Section III of the University of Konstanz.

Since October 2023, Prof. Dr. Wörner has been the decentralized Diversity Officer of the Department of Law. In this role, she continues to advocate for equality and diversity at the department, is in close contact with the Office for Gender Equality, Family Support and Diversity and supports subject-related projects such as the lecture series "Juristinnen in der Praxis".

The compatibility of academia and family is an important concern for the University of Konstanz. If you are currently a parent or caregiver with special responsibilities and need to hire additional private childcare, please take note of the application options available.

The Office for Gender Equality, Family Support and Diversity has published an "Information for Lecturers and Recommendations for Department Heads" to provide information on how to relieve the burden on lecturers with family responsibilities. You can find detailed information in the document linked here.

If you have any questions about compatibility, please contact Ms. Tanja Edelhäußer (tanja.edelhaeusser@uni-konstanz.de) or Ms. Marion Woelki (marion.woelki@uni-konstanz.de).

The Office for Gender Equality, Family Support and Diversity would like to support all researchers and teaching staff with family responsibilities in the best possible way during this difficult time. To this end, the unit is implementing reconciliation measures in consultation with the crisis team and the university management. The information on the following website is updated on an ongoing basis: https://www.uni-konstanz.de/gleichstellungsreferat/familie/wissenschaft-mit-kind/wissenschaft-mit-kind-in-zeiten-der-corona-krise/.
