At the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry the

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).

For questions, please contact the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Dr. Bernd Plietker (Tel. +49 351 463 32788; email: [email protected] ).

Excellence – A matter close to our hearts

Excellence? Elitism? Opportunity or risk? The Excellence Programme, initially launched in 2005 by the German government has aroused passionate debate right from the start and still has the potential to polarise opinion.

TU Dresden (TUD) looks at it this way: excellence is all about performance and having the right attitude. For everyone here at TU Dresden – one of eleven Universities of Excellence in Germany since 2012 – it is also a matter very close to our hearts. Firstly because of the extra motivation and impetus generated, and secondly, because of the way we handle this role.

Our vision for the future can be summed up as follows: “Let us become one of the leading centres for research and teaching, with our own individual character and a special talent for networking, able to attract the best minds in Germany and from further afield.” After all, it is a well-known fact that excellence in research and teaching presupposes excellent conditions. Or, to put it figuratively, for excellent crop yields, you need the right soil and weather.

TU Dresden is a comprehensive university with 18 faculties and works in close collaboration with its top performers: three Clusters of Excellence, including the “Centre for Tactile Internet” (CeTI) , the Cluster “Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter” (ct.qmat) and the Cluster “Physics of Life” (PoL) . The guiding principle here is that strong individual elements become even stronger when they work together.

The vision for the future takes this principle beyond the confines of the university: with the research network DRESDEN-concept ( D resden R esearch and E ducation S ynergies for the D evelopment of E xcellence and N ovelty), TU Dresden has been creating an alliance of research and cultural facilities in the city, an “excellent playground for excellent people”. This bond is unique in Germany and has evolved over many years. It is not necessary to create anything new here, as it is simply a matter of building further storeys on top of an already solid structure. The measures envisaged as part of the DRESDEN-concept contribute to the overall development of TU Dresden and form an integral part of the university strategy.

Excellence is understood and practised in Dresden as an opportunity for the entire university, and in this spirit, TU Dresden takes those measures that lead to excellence – by the university, for the university – in cooperation with colleagues here and all over the world. But at the same time neither elitist nor exclusive. TUD’s excellence comes from the heart – from and for our about 32,400 students, 600 professors and about 8,400 members of staff. In this way, excellence becomes the basis, the objective, the approach and the driving force. And that’s why being a top performer can also be so rewarding and enjoyable.
