What: Additional information concerning new design professorship at TUM
To: Potential candidates
TUM Department of Architecture is part of one of the most dynamic technical universities in Europe. Embedded in an excellent living and research environment, we are proactively taking advantage of the outstanding Munich ecosystem to strengthen our educational programs and research networks. Our vision is to successfully integrate design practice into research.
Next to the humanities, design is to become the second driving force of TUM towards a more human-centered engineering. We are in charge of integrating more intensively design practice and design thinking into technology development processes at TUM. Therefore, we will promote a new Integrated Research Center (IRC) in the field of Design and Technology.
The institute crosslinks our Department of Architecture with other TUM disciplines, especially informatics, engineering and management. The IRC will not only seek to enable new working methods, incorporating design, for students and researchers, but also to positively influence their mindsets and, thus, support the ongoing transformation of TUM as an organization.
The TUM Institute for Advanced Study (TUM-IAS) invites applications for the prestigious Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professorships for outstanding, high-potential early-career designers with practical as well as academic research experience and a teaching track record. A doctoral degree is expected. The professorship is assigned to the Department of Architecture.
We are looking for experts in the fields of either Systems Design, Responsible Product-Systems, Transformation Design or Business Design. It is also possible to apply in any field that links engineering and design.
We expect teaching in theoretical basics, design methods as well as subject-specific knowledge in your respective field. The teaching activities mainly take place in the study programs of architecture as well as ‘design and technology’. The main teaching language is English.
You should address design research as well as applied research. Proactive commitment in the field of entrepreneurship and within the TUM design framework are particularly welcomed.
We appoint more design professors from 2020 onwards. Even if the current vacancy does not match your research profile exactly, you are welcome to submit an application. We will handle your documents as a letter of intent for the next vacancies.
Applications are submitted online via wiki.tum.de/x/G4LuDw and should include the following documents: CV, certificates, credentials, list of publications, 3 selected reprints with a summary (max. of 1,000 characters each) of their impact on your research profile, presentation of research strategy, list of courses taught, statement on teaching strategy and teaching philosophy, third-party funding, as well as one letter of recommendation, and the names and addresses of at least 3 references.
If your application documents are incomplete for any reason, please apply even though. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in contact with us. We will reply promptly: dekan@ar.tum.de, Prof. Andreas Hild, Dean
The call is now open. Applications are to be submitted no later than November 10, 2019 (23:59 CET).
