The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Rostock invites applications for a
W1-Professorship in Chemical Engineering
(with a tenure track for a W3 professorship)
at the Institute of Chemistry, at the earliest possible date (within budget considerations).

The future holder of the position should be able to teach the subject of Chemical Engineering within the Chemistry,
Economical Chemistry and Teaching degree programs in German and English language, including the theoretical
foundations in lectures and exercises as well as supervision of practical courses. Participation in the further
development of the degree programs is expected.
 

The research focus of the future post holder should be on a current field of chemical engineering. A particular focus
should be on research topics in the field of catalysis or materials science. Possible areas of application are in the
fields of sustainable technical processes, the development and use of innovative materials and their applications
or integrated processes. Experience in the acquisition and implementation of third-party funded projects is
desirable. She*he should complement the research fields of the Institute of Chemistry and the associated nonuniversity
research institutions in Rostock. In particular, cooperation in the main research areas of the
Interdisciplinary Faculty is expected.

Qualifications are as per § 62 (1) of the Higher Education Act of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (LHG MV).
So far as there has been a period of employment as a member of scientific staff or as a scientific assistant in
Germany, before or after completion of the doctorate, it is required that the doctorate period and the employment
period combined have not exceeded nine years.
 

The professorship is to be filled according to § 62 (2) LHG M-V as a position with civil servant status of time or as
a regular state employee. The employment relationship is extended for a further three years in the event of
probation as part of an interim evaluation after the third year. Pursuant to § 62a LHG M-V, the appointment to the
junior professorship is linked to the promise that a professorship in the civil service status for life or as a regular
state employee will be accepted if the individual defined performance requirements are met during the junior
professorship. Before the end of the second phase of the junior professorship, a tenure track evaluation is carried
out in order to check the prerequisites for taking on the permanent W3 professorship.
 

A special focus is placed on academic achievement and teaching qualifications as well academic organization and
administration. For this reason, candidates should describe previous teaching results, ideas regarding future
teaching (including didactic lesson planning) and their prior experience in academic and scientific management. In
addition, candidates are expected to have experience and interest in developing programs that can attract and
maintain external funding.
 

The University of Rostock is committed to their university management guidelines.

Equal opportunities are part of our personnel policy. The announcement is therefore aimed at all persons regardless

The University of Rostock is especially interested in promoting women within the context of § 7 (3) of the Gender
Equality Act, and therefore specifically encourages applications from qualified women. Women will be given priority
if their qualifications are essentially equivalent, unless reasons attributable to the person of the competitor
predominate.
 

Applications with the usual documents (full CV, a complete list of academic and professional background,
publications, teaching experience, certificates, any additional qualifications, a summary of grants and sponsored
research activities and a description of future research plans) should be sent no later than April 25th, 2025 to the
Universität Rostock, Dekan der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät, Wismarsche Straße 45,
18057 Rostock or by e-mail to dekan.mnf@uni-rostock.de. We would like to point out that your e-mail will be sent
to us unencrypted.
