At the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry the
Chair (W3) of Analytical Chemistry
is to be filled as of October 1, 2027.
You (m/f/d) will fully represent the field of analytical chemistry in teaching and research. The professorship is a bridge professorship within the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry, as the training of students in modern chemical analysis is of central importance for both food chemistry and the research profiles "Biologically-oriented Chemistry" and "Material-relevant Chemistry". The professorship should complement the existing research areas in the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry and play a leading role in current strategic initiatives of the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry and the University. In teaching, you will represent the subject of analytical chemistry across the board in all degree programs of the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry as well as in the minor subject training of associated or English-language degree programs. We expressly expect your willingness to actively participate in interdisciplinary projects (e.g. SFB, Research Training Group), in academic self-administration and in cooperation with the non-university research institutions located in Dresden.
We require successful independent scientific activity with international visibility in the field of appointment. Ideally, your research should focus on solid-state NMR spectroscopy and its method development. However, research may also focus on other current areas of analytical chemistry such as multidimensional spectroscopy, spatially and time-resolved spectroscopy, in-situ and operando spectroscopy or modern mass spectrometry. We expect willingness for collaborations and strategic initiatives, success in attracting competitive third-party funding and proven quality and quantity of your publications. We expressly desire participation in existing research initiatives, for example within the framework of the SFB 1415. Comprehensive teaching experience in the entire breadth of the subject of analytical chemistry is essential. Strong leadership and diversity skills that combine strategic thinking, responsible action and the motivating leadership of diverse, interdisciplinary teams round off your profile. The requirements for appointment, the official duties and the administrative status are governed by §§ 59, 69, 71 of the Act on Higher Education Institutions in the Free State of Saxony (SächsHSG) and the Saxon Regulation on Official Duties at Higher Education Institutions (HSDAVO).
