Karlsruhe, Deutschland Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) Teilzeit
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) – The Research University in the Helmholtz Association creates and imparts knowledge for the society and the environment. It is our goal to make significant contributions to mastering the global challenges of mankind in the fields of energy, mobility, and information. For this, about 9,800 employees of KIT cooperate in a broad range of disciplines in research, academic education, and innovation.

In Division IV – Natural and Built Environment, the KIT Department of Civil Engineering, Geo- and Environmental Sciences invites applications for a Tenure-track-Professorship (W1) “Fluid-Structure Interactions” (Professorship endowed by the Dr. Martin Herrenknecht Verwaltungs GmbH)
at the Institute for Water and Environment (IWU) as of the next possible date.

We are looking for a recognized and enthusiastic person working in the field of fluid dynamics. The tenure-track-professorship is embedded in the research and teaching activities of the Institute for Water and Environment (IWU) and focuses on modeling the interactions in various environmental flows, such as floods with moving, deformable, organic, and inorganic elements.

The ideal candidate has strong skills in numerical modeling by eddy-resolved numerical computations, complements existing numerical and experimental research activities of the institute, and develops new methods for simulating fluid-structure interactions.

In academic education, the professorship will strengthen the study programs (BSc/MSc) of the Department with competencies in the field of fluid dynamics and related areas. The profound knowledge and practical experience will also be used for the supervision and support of students and doctoral researchers.

The candidate has to execute university tasks with a teaching obligation of 6 hours per week per semester, if the candidate has been evaluated positively. In other cases, the teaching obligation will be 4 hours per week per semester. Applicants are expected to participate in academic administration and to acquire third-party funding for research and innovation.

Employment is subject to Art. 14, par. (2) of the KIT Act in conjunction with Art. 51 LHG Baden-Württemberg (Act of Baden-Württemberg on Universities and Colleges) as well as to the Quality Assurance Concept for Junior Professorships and Tenure-track Professorships at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

Appointment will be based on an excellent internationally recognized scientific record as well as on didactic capabilities in the field of fluid dynamics and related areas. Applicants should be willing to collaborate across disciplines within the Institute for Water and Environment as well as within KIT.

Employment is limited to six years as a civil servant for a fixed term or as a salaried employee. Before the expiry of the third year of work, an interim evaluation will take place. The evaluation procedure and evaluation criteria are outlined in the Quality Assurance Concept for Junior Professorships and Tenure-track Professorships at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Specific interim and final evaluation criteria will include the subject-specific foci of work indicated above (own contributions to the research and teaching area, internal and external cooperation, and acquisition of third-party funding). In case of a positive final evaluation, you will be offered a full professorship (W3).

As a family-friendly university, KIT offers part-time employment, leaves of absence for family reasons, a dual career service, and coaching to support the work-life balance.

We would like to have a balanced structure of staff (f/m/nb). Therefore, we encourage qualified women to apply for this job.

Recognized severely disabled persons having the same qualification will be preferred.

Please mail your application with the relevant documents (curriculum vitae, list of publications, diplomas/certificates, teaching evaluations, description of previous and planned research and teaching activities, research and teaching concept, description of your own contributions in the above-mentioned areas, acquired third-party funds, statement on scientific honesty) until October 15, 2024 by using the vacancy number 1302/2024 preferably as a single PDF file, to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Head of Division IV – Natural and Built Environment, Kaiserstraße 12, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany, e-mail: dekanat@bgu.kit.edu.
