Junior Professorship for “systems Science in

At the School of Mathematics/Computer Science/Physics at Osnabrück University and at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB), the following professorship (M/F/d) is to be filled at the earliest possible date in a joint appointment procedure based on the “Jülicher model”: **Junior Professorship for “Systems Science in Bioeconomy”** **(Salary Scheme W1)**: If the general employment requirements are met, employment at the university will initially be in the form of a temporary civil servant for a period of three years, which will be extended by a further three years after a positive evaluation. The employment contract under private law with the ATB is initially closed for a period of three years. In the case of a positive interim evaluation, the ATB will extend the employment relationship by a further three years. **Task description**: Carrying out research and teaching in the field of "Systems Science in the Bioeconomy". The task of the professorship is basic research on - Development of methods in the field of systems science in bioeconomy systems, especially including - System-based model development - Creation of hybrid solutions between mechanistic/process-based and data-driven models, including digital twins - Between product-related models and models of the natural and technological environment - Between domains (horizontal; within (cascading) value creation networks) and system levels (vertical; across hierarchical levels) or related and relevant other tasks - Method development in the field of data-driven or process-based modeling and respective calibration methods in bioeconomy - Transfer of developed models and digital twin concepts into technological solutions and pilot tests together with industrial partners The professorship will take over the lead of the new working group "Systems Science in the Bioeconomy" and the establishment of the new research field "Systems Science in the Bioeconomy" at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy. There is the possibility of cooperation within the program areas and departments of the ATB. Places of employment are Potsdam and Osnabrück. The holder of the position is expected to participate in the activities of the Joint Lab "KI.DS - Artificial Intelligence and Data Science" established between ATB and Osnabrück University.

Previous research accomplishments must include one or more of the following topics: - Process-based mechanistic modelling of systems in natural sciences and related calibration methodologies - Physics-based simulations and modelling, for example fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, mechanics, particle tracking, etc. - Bio-chemical simulations and modelling, for example process control, or systems/process engineering **Legal Conditions of Employment**: The position is available on a full-time or part-time basis. Osnabrück University is a family-friendly university and is committed to helping working parents balance their family and working lives. Osnabrück University is actively seeking to increase the number of female Professors in its employ. Applications from women are therefore particularly welcome.
