Engineering Professorship for “Multiscale Environmental Process Engineering”

Faculty 2: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Engineering Professorship for “Multiscale Environmental Process Engineering” 

INSTITUTE OF SANITARY ENGINEERING, WATER QUALITY AND WASTE MANAGEMENT (ISWA) tendersglobal.net AT THE EARLIEST CONVENIENCE
The University of Stuttgart is a leading technical university in Germany and located in one of Europe’s most important high-tech and industrial regions. The university is a reliable employer, partner for technology transfer and is committed to the interdisciplinary integration of engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences on a foundation of top-flight disciplinary research.

The engineering professorship for “Multiscale Environmental Process Engineering” has a strong cross-sectional character and deals with the reactive and preventive protection of the environment as well as the reliability of raw material supply under technical, ecological, economic and societal aspects.

We are looking for a person with relevant professional experience and innovative research approaches in the field of environmental process engineering. A prerequisite is the ability to transfer and apply process engineering fundamentals as well as the capability for practical implementation in system engineering for the treatment of environmentally relevant material flows.

It is anticipated to develop concepts and technologies based on a profound understanding of processes, taking into account modern aspects of sustainability as well as material and energy circular management. 

Possible research focus topics for environmentally closed loop recycling management are:

• comprehensive, material flow-oriented water supply and wastewater treatment, 
• systematic process engineering treatment of cycle of materials, 
• fundamental research on experimental and model-based treatment of material flows at multiple scale levels.

The natural scientific departments of the Institute of Sanitary Engineering, Water Quality and Waste Management, which focus on environmental chemistry and microbiology, together with the teaching and research plant for wastewater treatment, offer the opportunity for innovative joint research on interdisciplinary topics. These range from the fundamentals and the development of prevention strategies up to the application of end-of-pipe technologies.

The position holder will represent the technical discipline in the German and international programs and in other degree programs in which the Faculty is involved. The candidate shall cover the field of environmental process engineering in teaching. Faculty 2: Civil and Environmental Engineering has set itself the goal of increasing diversity and attracting underrepresented groups in engineering. Thus, we expect to encourage women in particular to pursue a career in engineering and to actively contribute to the implementation of a gender-balanced and diversity-oriented university.

We are looking for a person who has an outstanding track record of high-ranking scientific publications and/or comparable achievements with international visibility.

For a qualitative assessment of your academic accomplishments, we kindly ask you to submit a short description of your three most important scientific achievements, which should be no longer than one page in total. Possible successes may include, for example, those in the fields of research, teaching, science and society, knowledge and technology transfer, inventions and patents, software development or spin-offs.

The requirements for employment listed in § 47 and § 50 Baden-Württemberg university law (LHG) apply.

Applications with the usual documents (including CV, the three most important publications in full text, a maximum two-page teaching and research concept, a list of publications and lectures, a list including a brief description of the third-party funds acquired, the projects carried out and the teaching experience as well as the corresponding teaching evaluations) are requested by January 31, 2024, if possible in one PDF file to the appointment committee by email to [email protected]. Please be aware of the risks regarding confidentiality and the integrity of your application contents when sending your application via unencrypted email. Alternatively, postal applications to Universität Stuttgart, Fakultät 2: Bau- und Umweltingenieurwissenschaften, Fakultätsbüro, Pfaffenwaldring 7, 70569 Stuttgart are also accepted.
