The TUHH is a modern and dynamic university, striving for international excellence in research and teaching. It provides the ideal conditions for unlocking the knowledge and innovative potential related to today's technological challenges by combining its engineering expertise in the three focal areas of Green Technologies, Life Science Technologies and Aviation and Maritime Systems with cross-cutting research on digitalisation and new materials. As a part of its educational strategy, TUHH is developing new, international degree programmes for tomorrow's engineers, building on its excellent reputation for innovation in teaching and learning for the engineering sciences
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon conducts international cutting-edge research for a changing world: approximately 1,100 employees generate knowledge and innovation toward more resilience and sustainability. The Hereon’s scientific spectrum encompasses high-performance materials, processes and environmentally friendly technologies for mobility and new energy systems. Furthermore, research is conducted on biomaterials for medicine and for increasing quality of life. Through research and consulting, the Hereon addresses the challenges of climate change in a solution-oriented manner and facilitates sustainable management as well as the protection of the coasts and marine environment through comprehensive scientific understanding. From basic understanding to practical applications – the interdisciplinary research centre covers a unique spectrum. As part of an international network and as a member of the Helmholtz Association, the Hereon supports political, economic and societal institutions in shaping the future through the transfer of its expertise.
The TUHH and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have been collaborating very successfully in the field of materials science for many years. For example, a joint centre for high-performance materials was founded, and both partners cooperate closely in the Collaborative Research Center 986 “Tailored Multiscale Materials Systems” and the HamburgXProject “Center for Integrated Multiscale Materials Systems”. In order to expand this partnership and to complement their expertise in atomic-scale modelling, TUHH and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon are jointly announcing the following professorship:
Ref. No. P2110
The successful applicants will be appointed professors at the TUHH. Subsequently, they will be assigned to the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon to the extent of 50% (Full Professor) or 49% (Junior Professor).
TUHH and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon are equal opportunity employers and particularly welcome and encourage applications from women. Women are underrepresented among professors at the TUHH. They will therefore be given preferential consideration in the case of equivalent qualifications.
Applications by disabled persons with equal qualifications will be given preference.
Applications can be submitted in German or English.
