Tenure-Track-Professorship (W1)
in Water Resources and Hydrochemistry
INSTITUTE FOR SANITARY ENGINEERING, WATER QUALITY AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT I AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY
The focus in research and teaching is on chemical water quality and water resources. The position involves teaching on this subject
area in the German and English language study courses of Faculty 2: Civil and Environmental Engineering and in other study courses
in which the faculty is involved.
In the context of sustainable use and conservation of water resources, the tenure-track-professorship is devoted to fundamental analytical
methods for the characterisation of water, and to methods for improving chemical water quality and water recycling. Analytical methods will
focus on the development of intelligent sampling strategies and monitoring concepts as well as the further development of water analytical
quality control. The main emphasis lies on instrumental analysis and, in cooperation with the future professorship "Technical Environmental
Biology and Ecosystem Assessment", on the innovative use and improvement of analytics related to active substances. In the field of process
engineering, sustainable water treatment systems (elimination of problematic substances, such as micropollutants) are to be developed and optimized
on a laboratory and pilot plant scale. For this purpose, the water-chemical basics of natural and technical aquatic systems and processes have to be investigated.
We are looking for an outstanding candidate who can demonstrate profound chemical and scientific competences in the fields of water chemistry and
water analysis. Engineering skills in the field of water treatment are desirable. Applications by young researchers who are nationally and
internationally visible through projects and publications are expected.
The ability, experience and willingness to interdisciplinary cooperation and the successful application and management of fundamental and
application-oriented research projects as well as the participation in the Water Research Centre Stuttgart are expected.
The position is a tenure track position leading to an appointment as a W3 professor in case of a positive evaluation. The requirements for
