The
Technical University of Munich (TUM) is setting up a new innovative
Center for Informatics at the
TUM Campus Heilbronn. A total of 9
professorships in the fields of computer engineering, theoretical and
practical computer science, endowed by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation,
are to be established.
The TUM herewith invites applications for the position of
Professor
in » Data Engineering «
to begin as soon as possible. The position is a W2 fixed-term position (6
years) with tenure track option to a tenured W3 position (Associate Professor)
or a tenured W3 (Associate or Full) position.
Scientific Environment
The Heilbronn region is a strong and successful high-tech region in Europe
with many cooperation opportunities and a wide variety of educational
institutions. The professorship belongs to the Department of Informatics
– in the future to the TUM School of Computation, Information &
Technology – and will be part of the TUM Campus Heilbronn, a new
vibrant center for research and teaching. With the Center for Digital Transformation
and the Global Center for Family Enterprise of the TUM School
of Management, TUM Campus Heilbronn provides a multitude of possibilities
for scientific collaborations in the areas of management, engineering
and digital transformation. The new Center for Informatics complements
the TUM Campus Heilbronn with a digital profile and bridges the divide
between management and digitalization. Its focus will be in information
engineering – a key component in the digital transformation of companies.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities include research and teaching as well as the promotion
of early-career scientists in the full spectrum of Informatics. Together
with the professorships in economics of the TUM School of Management
funded since 2018, the new professors will engage in research and teaching
at the interface of management and technology.
We seek to appoint an expert in the research area of Data Engineering
with a focus on Database System Development and innovative Data
Processing. The teaching load includes courses in the university’s bachelor’s
and master’s programs. The successful candidate will also participate
in building up and shaping the profile of the new Center for Informatics as
well as establish new study programs at the TUM Campus Heilbronn.
