Junior professorship (non-tenure-track) "Smart converters for emission-free mobility of the future"

INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONVERSION | AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
The professorship is associated with a junior research group leadership and is intended to strengthen the focus on emission-free mobility in the Innovation Campus Mobility of the Future (ICM). In the ICM, the University of Stuttgart and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology combine their competences in research and innovation in order to think ahead and conduct interdisciplinary research into new forms of mobility, flexible production technologies and future value-added networks, thereby offering ideal conditions for the junior professorship.

The research will explore issues related to new concepts, methods and technologies associated with smart converters and develop those for the mobility and production of the future. This includes:

• The development of novel topologies and operating concepts for power electronics
• Reliability enhancement through redundant topologies and adaptive operating procedures
• Condition monitoring/life-cycle monitoring as a basis for intelligent, AI-based fault prediction
• Holistic optimization of the design of smart converters with regard to costs, (interference) safety, power density and efficiency.

We are looking for a candidate who can demonstrate competence and initial experience in at least one of the above-mentioned key topics and who represents aspects of the topic of smart converters for the mobility of the future in research and teaching. International applicants are expressly welcome.

The duties of the junior professorship include participation in teaching in German and English e. g. in the Master's program in Electromobility at the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.

This position requires a willingness to cooperate intensively within the Innovation Campus and with other institutes of Faculties 4, 5 and 7 at the University of Stuttgart.

The employment requirements and conditions of § 51 LHG Baden-Württemberg apply.

Please send your application with the usual documents by 09.01.2022 to the Chairman of the Appointment Committee, Prof. Dr.-Ing.
