PROFESSORSHIP (W1 TENURE-TRACK TO W3) IN THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE AT 
HAMBURG UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (TUHH)
--
The School of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics 
at TUHH: Hamburg University of Technology (www.tuhh.de) in Hamburg, 
Germany seeks applications for a professorship in Theoretical Computer 
Science.

The successful candidate is expected to represent Theoretical Computer 
Science in research and teaching at TUHH. Qualified applicants are 
expected to have an excellent track record in fundamental research as 
well as a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration with 
engineering work groups at TUHH. TUHH particularly welcomes applications 
from scientists with a research focus including but not necessarily 
limited to one or more of the following:
* Logic and computability
* Models and algorithms for new computing architectures (cloud, 
in-memory, fine-grained complexity and others)
* Model theory and game theory in verification
* Algorithmic foundations of quantum computing
* Computational models and theory for cyber-physical systems
The position starts as junior professorship (W1), with a tenure track to 
full professorship (W3). While the position focuses on fundamental 
research, TUHH expects that candidates demonstrate an interest in 
applying their findings in engineering areas and collaborate with 
related research institutes at TUHH and its partners in the region. As 
Professor for Theoretical Computer Science, the successful candidate is 
expected to other courses in computer science, engineering computer 
science, data science and related degree programmes, both at the 
undergraduate and graduate level, and to engage in the further 
development of the curricula offered by TUHH.

TUHH is a modern and dynamic university, striving for international 
excellence in research and teaching. It provides the ideal conditions 
for unlocking the knowledge and innovation potential of today's 
technological challenges by combining its engineering expertise in the 
three focal areas of Green Technologies, Life Science Technologies and 
Aviation and Maritime Systems with cross-cutting research on 
digitalisation and new materials. As a part of its educational strategy, 
TUHH is developing new, international degree programmes for tomorrow's 
engineers, building on its excellent reputation for innovation in 
teaching and learning for the engineering sciences.

This professorship is funded by the Joint Federal Government-Länder 
Tenure Track Programme ("Bund-Laender-Programm zur Foerderung des 
wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses"). The appointment is due to commence in 
the 2021/22 winter term. The initial appointment will be for three 
years, with the possibility of renewal for a further three years after a 
positive interim evaluation. Following another positive evaluation in 
the final year, the candidate will be tenured at the professorial level 
(W3).

TUHH acknowledges exceptional and innovative teaching achievements and 
capabilities. Successful applicants will therefore contribute to its 
prominent profile of innovative teaching methods with high-quality 
undergraduate (B.Sc.) and graduate (M.Sc.) courses. The courses are 
offered in English and German; a willingness to learn German is expected 
from non-German speakers. TUHH is an equal opportunity employer and 
particularly welcomes and encourages applications from women. It is 
certifed as a family-friendly university and supports dual careers. 
Applications by disabled persons with equal qualifications will be given 
preference.

The deadline for applications is 29 April 2021. Applications can be 
submitted in German or English. Please upload your application 
(including covering letter, CV, Ref. No.: P2102 a list of publications, 
relevant certificates, overview of research activities and teaching 
experience) through the official application portal at 
https://stellenportal.tuhh.de/jobposting/a25baa5724882150161c93dc5ad0f48777de95ad.
