W2-Professorship Systems Engineering

For this professorship, we are seeking a committed personality who, after studying electrical engineering/information technology (or comparable programs), is currently in a responsible position outside of academia, has acquired extensive practical experience (e.g. industrial experience), and would now like to pass this knowledge on to our students in teaching and applied research.

Applicants are required to have proven scientific competence and practical experience in the fields of electrical engineering and information technology. The range of tasks of this position includes teaching topics within the field of "Systems Engineering" with a technical focus on the design and development of processes for complex technical systems, e.g., software engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE), for which previous experience should exist. The role also includes teaching fundamental courses in electrical engineering and information technology as well as courses in control and automation technology. Furthermore, comprehensive experience in the field of project management is desirable.

Courses are to be taught in English as well as in German. On top of this high level of commitment to teaching, participation in the academic self-administration of the university is also expected. Research activities and industrial projects are desired and can reduce the teaching load. We offer and expect dedicated collaboration in being part of our team. As a department, we provide a professional, collegial, and supportive environment with plenty of freedom to conduct applied research and transfer projects.

In addition, Trier University of Applied Sciences also offers various innovative and future-oriented research opportunities and international and interdisciplinary collaboration possibilities.
