Technische Universität Dresden - Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology

TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

Chair (W2) of Vibroacoustics and Equipment Technology in Lightweight Engineering

At the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering, the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology invites applications for the
Chair (W2) of Vibroacoustics and Equipment Technology in Lightweight Engineering
to be filled at the earliest possible date.

Tasks:

The chair represents the scientific field of vibroacoustics and equipment technology in lightweight construction in research and teaching. It focuses on innovative developments in multifunctional lightweight engineering and aims to strengthen the institute's expertise, particularly in two closely interlinked and future-oriented areas. On the one hand, this is the field of vibroacoustics and vibration management of lightweight structures, with a focus on the analysis, modeling, and control of the acoustic and vibration behavior of highly stressed lightweight structures. This includes, in particular, the development of methods for the targeted adjustment of damping, emissions, and vibroacoustic performance, for example, in aerospace or process engineering applications. On the other hand, the field of multifunctional lightweight structures for device technology applications will be pursued with a focus on the design, modeling, development and manufacture of novel multifunctional lightweight components, for example for medical or automotive engineering, in fiber composite and hybrid construction, as well as on the development of associated measurement and testing technology. A particular focus here is on the integration of sensors and actuators in a manner that is suitable for manufacturing and stress conditions. The chair's range of tasks includes acquiring and implementing projects in both fundamental and application-oriented research, publishing in recognized journals, and promoting transfer and interdisciplinary cooperation with partner institutions in the DRESDEN-concept, a research alliance of TUD, as well as local non-university research and cultural institutions.
The chair covers the teaching areas of vibroacoustics and equipment technology in lightweight construction within the degree programs Lightweight Engineering in the German and English-language diploma, bachelor's, and master's degree programs offered by the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering. This includes courses on function-integrated components, adaptive structures for lightweight construction as well as fiber composites and polymers in medical engineering, as well as, in future courses, measurement technology. The chair also contributes to the further development and internationalization of these degree programs. It is also involved in academic self-administration and participates in committees of the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering and TUD.

Requirements:

We are looking for you (m/f/x) with internationally proven, clearly defined, and innovative expertise in the fields of vibroacoustics, active and passive structural damping, and multifunctional fiber composite structures. Your publications and international network serve as proof of this. Your research achievements have high development potential. In particular, fundamental and application-oriented research experience in the fields of medical and automotive technology, success in acquiring third-party funding, and experience in technology transfer are required. Your willingness to acquire DFG projects and your interest in participating in collaborative research are a given. Your own professional experience in an industrial environment is also desirable.
You inspire our students with your high level of motivation and have proven teaching skills, demonstrated by extensive experience in independently conducting bilingual courses and the results of your teaching evaluations. Your participation in academic self-administration is a given. In addition to existing skills, there should be a focus on the development of participatory and collaborative research methods. Your independent, reflective way of working, strategic thinking, sense of responsibility, and motivational leadership of interdisciplinary, diverse teams round off your profile.
The requirements for appointment, official duties and administrative status are governed by §§ 59, 69, 71 of the Act on Higher Education Institutions in the Free State of Saxony (SächsHSG) and the Regulations on Duties and Responsibilities of Institutes of Higher Education (HSDAVO).
