Your tasks:

Are you passionate about information technology? Would you also like to inspire students for computer science and play an active role in the future of applied IT? We are looking for a committed person for a professorship at the Center for Applied Informatics (ZAI) at our Friedrichshafen campus. As part of the professorship, you will teach basic courses in computer science and information technology. These will be supplemented by in-depth courses covering topics such as data science and data management, depending on your needs and personal interests.

Other tasks of the professorship include:

1. Supervision of student research projects and bachelor's theses, and, if interested, also of academic theses in our master's program.

3. Active participation in the university's self-administration.
4. Involvement in cooperative research, e.g. by contributing to the research, innovation and transfer activities carried out at DHBW, including at the Centre for Digitalization in Mobility Systems.

The ZAI coordinates teaching in the field of computer science and information technology in the engineering degree programs at the Friedrichshafen campus (electrical engineering, embedded systems, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, industrial engineering, aerospace engineering) and conducts a significant proportion of the courses itself. The new professorship advertised here is the third at ZAI.

If particularly suitable, it is possible to take over the management of the ZAI or a regular degree program in the medium term.

Your profile:

1. You have a degree in engineering, computer science or related subjects.
2. You have theoretical knowledge and practical experience in software development.
3. You are proficient in several modern programming languages and paradigms and are familiar with common software development processes.
4. You have expertise in current IT technologies as well as application, project and management experience.
5. You live in the region or are willing to relocate to the region.

Our offer:

1. You can expect a collegial and pleasant working atmosphere.
2. You organize your work independently with time flexibility and freedom in teaching.
3. We offer you a modern and mobile workplace that enables a better work-life balance.
4. You have the opportunity to gain further professional qualifications through research and part-time work.
5. We offer you a wide range of opportunities for further training in higher education didactics at the ZHL (Center for Higher Education Didactics and Lifelong Learning).
6. You benefit from good public transport connections (a Job Ticket BW with corresponding subsidy is possible).
7. We offer other benefits such as a job bike and discounted meals in the canteen.

In accordance with § 47 LHG, a university degree, special academic qualifications (usually a doctorate), pedagogical aptitude and at least five years of practical professional experience, including at least three years outside the university sector, are required. The applicant must also be willing to participate in academic development, in particular through research and continuing academic education. A particular degree of commitment, willingness to cooperate with the companies and institutions involved and a willingness to work on committees are expected.

If the relevant requirements are met, the position will be filled as a probationary civil servant, otherwise as a permanent employee. As a rule, you can be taken on as a professor for life after three years of probationary service as a civil servant.

We look forward to receiving your online application via our application portal by 14.04.2025!
