From 1992 to 2007, she was a full professor of sociology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (on leave from 2003 to 2007).

Research

Allmendinger's research interests focus on social inequality, education, and labor markets.

Role in politics

Allmendinger is a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).[4] She served as a member of the advisory board of the Commissioner of the German Federal Government for Migration, Refugees and Integration, Maria Böhmer. When Federal President Joachim Gauck announced in June 2016 that he would not be available for reelection, Allmendinger was soon mentioned by German media as likely successor.[5][6]

More recently, Allmendinger was appointed as chair of the Zukunftsrat of the Hesse State (inaugurated by Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel) and to the German government's so-called "coal commission", which was tasked to develop a master plan on how to phase-out coal as an energy source and create a new economic perspective for the country's coal-mining regions.[7][8]

On the international level, Allmendinger was a member of the High Level Economic Expert Group "Innovation for Growth" (I4G) of the European Commission (2012–2014), appointed by European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Máire Geoghegan-Quinn. When the United Kingdom assumed the presidency of the G7 in 2021, she was appointed by the United Kingdom's Minister for Women and Equalities Liz Truss to a newly formed Gender Equality Advisory Council (GEAC) chaired by Sarah Sands.[9]

Other activities

Allmendinger serves in numerous advisory boards in Germany and abroad. Between 2006 and 2012 she was a member of the Scientific Commission of the German Council of Sciences and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat),[10] between 2007 and 2011 of the Commission of Experts for Research and Innovation established by the German government. Since 2016 she has been a member of the supervisory board of the Berlin City Cleaning (BSR), and since 2017 she has been the co-editor of the weekly newspaper Die Zeit.[11][12]
