Applications are invited from qualified teachers who must be fluent in English, eligible to work in Germany, and are planning to reside in the Frankfurt area for at least one year. If you are interested in being included on our substitute list, please send a cover letter and CV (including your current mailing address and date of birth) to Tanja_Pekrul@fis.edu.
