TUM - Technical University Munich
We are looking for an excellent candidate with high potential who should have established an internationally recognized research agenda in the field of biomolecular nanotechnology. The successful applicant is expected to perform cutting-edge research on sequence-programmable structure formation with a special emphasis on DNA-based self-assembly processes and to establish and maintain a third-party funded research program. The research program should cover the whole range from the development of novel experimental methods for the analysis of biomolecular interactions to the exploitation of such interactions for the generation of novel 'self-assembled' functional materials and devices.
Strong interdisciplinary interaction with other departments in the framework of the biomaterials focus of the TUM, most prominently the Biophysics and Biochemistry research community, and the MSE (Munich School of Engineering) is highly desirable. The candidate is also expected to interact closely with research centers like the SFB 863 and the research clusters CIPSM and NIM funded by the Excellence Initiative. It is planned that the professorship will be actively involved and associated with a new electron microscopy center at the Campus Garching.
There is the possibility of being promoted to a Full Professor (Chair Position). Promotion requires a Post-Tenure Performance Review, with a successful and positive reviewing period of at least 3 years after appointment as a TUM Associate Professor. The regulations according to “TUM Faculty Recruitment and Career System”.
Teaching assignments include courses in the subject area and the basic courses offered by the department as well as courses for other academic TUM departments. Prerequisites for this position are a university degree, a doctoral degree, teaching skills at university level, and additional academic achievements (according to Art. 7 and Art. 10 BayHSchPG). Candidates for this position should be aged 51 or under at the time of appointment. The ability to teach in English is a prerequisite for TUM Professors.
As part of the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments, TUM has been pursuing the strategic goal of substantially increasing the diversity of its faculty. As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, TUM explicitly encourages nominations of and applications from women as well as from all others who would bring additional diversity dimensions to the university’s research and teaching strategies. Preference will be given to disabled candidates with essentially the same qualifications. The TUM Munich Dual Career Office provides support for dual career couples and families.
