Sciences
We are inviting applications for the position of full professor in the area of
industrial mathematics, to be filled as soon as possible. Candidates are
expected to have distinguished expertise and a visible research agenda
in the field of applied mathematics with implementation-oriented industrial
relevance. Relevant research topics include data-integrated simulation
methods, methods for artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling, opti-
mization, optimal control, inverse problems or imaging, with a focus on
the interplay between mathematics and application. Excellent applica-
tions from other areas of industrial mathematics are explicitly welcome.
Strategies for acquiring third-party funding and experience with interdisci-
plinary projects are required. The successful candidate will be expected
to facilitate cooperation with other research groups at RWTH, particularly
in the engineering sciences, and to promote the mathematical and meth-
odological development of the research field. Adequate participation in
the teaching obligations of the Department of Mathematics is part of the
duties of the professorship, which includes lectures in mathematics for
students of other disciplines.
The requirements include a doctoral degree and additional research ex-
perience, such as a habilitation (post-doctoral lecturing qualification) or
equivalent achievements gained as a university researcher or professor or
in a research position outside academia. Teaching ability and dedication
are essential and the application should include proof of this. Fluent Ger-
man is not required to start the position but the successful candidate will
be expected to hold classes in German within the first 5 years.
