W3 Professorship for Applied Partial Differential Equations

The appointment is for the earliest possible date.

The professorship is located at the institute for partial differential equations.

Your responsibilities

The applicant has a professionally excellent, internationally visible research profile, which is proven by successful publications in renowned international journals. Suitable applicants (f/m/d) have already achieved success in applying for third-party funding projects and bring with them the necessary personal prerequisites to be able to establish and lead their own research group.

The research areas shall include modern methods of partial differential equations with a considerate link to applications in the engineering or natural sciences. Possible but not exclusive areas are

• applications in the engineering and natural sciences
• modern methods of numerical fluid mechanics
• reaction diffusion equations in the life sciences
• partial differential equations under uncertainties
• data driven methods for differential equations

We expect the initiation and development of interdisciplinary collaborations in the university and its research environment. Furthermore, the organisation of joint research projects and the raising of third-party fundings are expected.

The professorship teaches in the mathematical bachelor and master programs and participates in the teaching service in engineering study programs. It is expected that the successful applicant is willing to support the basic and specific teaching in German and English and works in the academic self-administration.

The successful candidate (f/m/d) is expected to be committed to the university’s strategic goals and to actively shape its holistic development (https://​www.tu-braunschweig.de/​hochschulentwicklung). In addition to the classic service areas of a university (research, teaching and studies, transfer, governance and administration), this applies in particular to digitalisation, internationalisation, equality and diversity, as well as knowledge exchange.

Our expectations

• internationally visible research in a modern field of partial differential equations, methodical and application focused research areas
• experience with and willingness to raise third-party fundings
• teaching experience, willingness to support the basic and the specific teaching duties in mathematical study programs and in the teaching service in German and in English
• proof of interdisciplinary cooperations and concepts for future interdisciplinary cooperations in the institute, in the faculty and in the Technische University Braunschweig and its environment
• participation in the self-administration of the university and the organization of science
• support of co-workers in the qualification phase
• cooperation in the internationalisation of the university in teaching and research

Individual career decisions and career breaks due to parental/family care leave affecting research output will be taken into account by the appointment committee.

Requirements, § 25 NHG

• A degree in a relevant field
• Pedagogical aptitude
• Special qualification for in-depth independent scientific work, as a rule proven by an above-average doctorate
• Additional academic achievements, usually within the framework of a junior professorship, a post-doctoral degree (Habilitation) or through achievements equivalent to a Habilitation
