W3-Professorship for Inorganic Chemistry (m/f/d)

Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU)

Your tasks include:

The future holder of the advertised professorship is expected to represent the dedicated area in research and teaching.

Your profile:

We are seeking a candidate with outstanding scientific achievements of international visibility. The future position holder will be responsible for teaching courses in German and English language in inorganic and general chemistry (including the associated lab courses) for the B.Sc./M.Sc. programs offered by the Department of Chemistry, as well as those in cooperation with other departments of RPTU across the full range of subjects. In addition to appropriate scientific qualifications, applicants are expected to have special pedagogical-didactic skills and proven teaching experience.

The department's research priorities are based on three key areas: a) reactivity, catalysis, and sustainability; b) spectroscopy, magnetism, and materials; and c) life sciences and bioanalytics, whereas the focus of this professorship should be on reactivity, catalysis, and sustainability. We therefore expect suitable candidates to have a research focus in a future-oriented area of preparative inorganic chemistry. A clear application focus, for example, in fields such as sustainable chemistry, resource efficiency, or energy conversion — ideally incorporating artificial intelligence or machine learning methods — is important for the department. Applicants are expected to have experience in collaborating with other research groups in chemistry as well as to have a proven record of acquisition of third-party funding. We require a willingness to collaborate with other research groups at the Department of Chemistry and other departments of RPTU. A participation in the research unit NanoKat is conceivable. The professional duties also include active participation in the academic self-administration of the Department. Experience in academic boards and committees are desirable.

Further information can be found on the RPTU website.

Our profile of requirements:

The state of Rhineland-Palatinate and RPTU advocate a supervision concept, in which teachers are expected to be present at the university location. In addition to the general requirements under employment law, the recruitment requirements set out in § 49 of the Hochschulgesetz Rheinland-Pfalz apply.

RPTU stands for the diversity of all employees. We welcome applications from all interested persons, regardless of their ethnic and social background, age, religion, gender, disability and sexual orientation or identity. Severely disabled persons and persons with equivalent status will be given preference if they are suitably qualified and suitable for the position (please enclose proof of severe disability/equal status with your application).

RPTU strives to increase the proportion of women in areas, in which women are underrepresented. Applications from female scientists and researchers from abroad are particularly encouraged.
