Academic ConnectFaculty II - Mathematics and Natural Sciences
University Professorship - BesGr. W3
for the field of "Green Chemistry" .
Job description
The successful candidate will be expected to fully represent the fields of green chemistry and inorganic chemistry in teaching and to participate in the delivery of courses for the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Food Chemistry. Courses should be taught in German and English. Responsibilities will also include supervising students in the preparation of their theses.
Research should be conducted in a current area of molecular inorganic chemistry, preferably in the field of catalysis based on organometallic or coordination compounds, with a particular focus on the principles of green chemistry, including the development of sustainable, resource- and energy-saving chemical processes.
The research area should integrate well into the collaborative projects based in Berlin, thereby enabling broad cooperation.
Further responsibilities include managing and leading the department and its staff, promoting young scientists, women, and social diversity, knowledge and technology transfer, internationalization initiatives, gender- and diversity-competent and sustainability-oriented action, and committee and commission work.
Expected qualifications
The employment requirements according to Section 100 BerlHG must be met. These include, in particular, a completed university degree in chemistry or a comparable subject, a special aptitude for scientific work, which is usually demonstrated by the quality of a doctorate, additional scientific achievements, which are usually demonstrated by a positively evaluated junior professorship, habilitation or equivalent achievements, as well as pedagogical aptitude, which is documented by a teaching portfolio (for more information on the teaching portfolio, see the website of the Technical University of Berlin: https://www.tu.berlin/go209650/
). We are seeking a scientist with an independent, internationally visible profile in an experimental field of green chemistry, who will represent this subject in research and teaching. Competence in the field of synthesis strategies for inorganic molecules and their application in sustainable processes, e.g., in catalysis or the conversion or storage of energy, is a key qualification. The willingness and ability to engage in interdisciplinary research, e.g., between theory and experiment, as well as in technology transfer measures is required. A research focus on purely process-oriented Technical Chemistry. Groundbreaking research results in the field of synthesis and structural characterization of inorganic molecules, as well as their use in sustainable chemical processes, must be demonstrated through relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals. High research activity must be demonstrated through strong third-party funding acquisition (documented by funding acquisitions in the last five years). The professorship is expected to actively contribute to the further development of Berlin's integrated research area. Relevant teaching experience and experience in supervising theses and doctoral theses are desirable. Furthermore, experience in academic self-administration and in leading larger research groups is desirable.
The Technical University of Berlin expects its professors to be able to assume responsibility for the leadership and strategic development of their department and their staff. For us, this also includes commitment to the advancement of young talent and women, gender and diversity competence in the sense of creating diversity-sensitive working and study conditions, and providing impetus for research and teaching.
As an internationally renowned university, we require the ability to teach in German and English or the willingness to acquire any missing language skills within a reasonable time.
With approximately 35,000 students, around 350 professors, and approximately 7,500 employees, the Technische Universität Berlin is a University of Excellence within the Berlin University Alliance. We value the diversity of our members, pursue equal opportunities, and are certified as a family-friendly university. With our Dual Career Service, we offer you and your family support when moving to Berlin.
Applicants are asked to include an initial conceptual outline of their planned research and teaching activities with their application.
