Job description

We are looking for internationally recognized outstanding applicants who will advance our mission of research, teaching, and innovation at the KIT Center Mathematics in Sciences, Engineering, and Economics (MathSEE). The core principles of MathSEE are multidisciplinarity, cooperation at eye level, scientific excellence, as well as the promotion of young scien-tists. The tenure-track professorship belongs to the KIT-Department of Mathematics but shall also be connected with at least one SEE discipline (sciences, engineering, economics) and should closely cooperate with researchers from the SEE disciplines.

Your research can be assigned to at least one of the four method areas of the KIT Center MathSEE. With your research profile, you will also build a bridge from mathematics into applications. We expect your commitment not only in the further development of the KIT Center MathSEE, in particular in the form of visible interdisciplinary projects, but also in the KIT Graduate School for Computational and Data Science.

With regard to teaching, you will be engaged in designing the basic mathematics curriculum of the planned degree program Computational & Data Science. This includes the preparation of new teaching content and formats. In addition, you will take part in the teaching activities of the KIT-Department of Mathematics. You will actively advance your research profile and your professional development at KIT, and you will supervise undergraduates as well as doctoral researchers.

You will execute university tasks with a teaching obligation of 6 hours per week per semester, if you have been evaluated positively. In other cases, your teaching obligation will be 4 hours per week per semester.
