Professorship for „ Function Integration in Production Engineering“

Salary-Gr. W 1 TT W2 NBesG

The appointment is planned for the next time possible.

The advertised position is a professorship funded by the Tenure Track Programme of the German Federal Government and the Federal States (”WISNA”) and is therefore subject to the funding conditions of the programme. Applicants can only be appointed within the four-year period following the defence of their doctorate.

Your responsibilities

The professorship covers adaptronics and function integration in teaching and research, especially the subject area of function-integrated and function-integrating production or closed-loop production technology. Possible research priorities can be in the areas of adaptronics, functional materials, additive manufacturing or sensor/actuator technology. The research orientation is also expected to make a distinctive contribution within the the production technology-oriented research centres Open Hybrid Labfactory (OHLF) and Battery Lab Factory (BLB) as well as the Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFF) and the Aeronautics Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFL). The desired fields of activity of the professorship in research should cover as many of the following areas as possible:

  • Techniques and methods for functionalisation and functional integration
  • Characterisation of functional materials and structural-mechanical modelling of functionally integrated multi-material components
  • Integrated sensor-based state detection of complex products
  • Techniques and methods for functionalisation and function integration aimed at enabling/supporting separation and recycling concepts at the end of the product life cycle
  • Material and component-integrated functions/technologies for the closed-loop production of complex products

 

Our expectations

  • Publication activities in the area of the aforementioned focal points
  • Active participation in various core research areas and research centres of the TU Braunschweig
  • Participation in the design of cooperation projects
  • Experience with and willingness to raise third-party funds
