Join our team!

The Department of Water, Environment, Civil Engineering and Safety (WUBS) has a particularly strong research focus together with an interdisciplinary and practical orientation and offers a broad spectrum of undergraduate Bachelor’s and consecutive Master’s study programmes.

Your new challenge

• You will be responsible for the subject of Digital Methods in Structural Engineering with a particular focus on application in teaching and research and will take on responsibility for the further development of the study programmes and the department.
• The department has a very well-equipped testing facility with numerous laboratories, such as the component testing and structural dynamics laboratory, which may be further developed with your participation. Cooperation with other laboratories such as the fire safety laboratory and the structural physics laboratory is also desirable.
• You will also have responsibility for delivering courses in Computer Methods in Civil Engineering, Numerical Methods (including FEM) and Building Information Modelling on the Bachelor’s degree programme in Civil Engineering (incl. dual) as well as the Master’s degree programme in Civil Engineering / Structural Engineering.
• In addition, your role will also include teaching foundation subjects such as Applied Mechanics or Statics/FEM. If necessary, you will be prepared to take on additional teaching duties in the field of Structural Engineering. In the courses on the Bachelor’s and Master's study programmes, it will be of special importance to you to convey factual connections using suitable teaching methods in an application-oriented manner.
• You will be committed to strengthening the specialist profile of the Department, will work on an interdisciplinary basis in the context of cross-departmental cooperation at the Magdeburg campus and will be involved in the development of the range of programmes offered.
• Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences is entitled to award doctorates in fields with particular research strength. This means that we offer a research-friendly environment, which, provided that you meet the requirements, will enable you to play a part in our Doctoral Centre for Environment and Technology.
• It goes without saying that you will be committed to technology and knowledge transfer and cooperation with regional and international stakeholders as well as to contributing to the development of the university. Moreover, it is important to us that you be involved in academic self-governance.

What you offer

You are a good fit for us if you are enthusiastic about teaching and research activities and you meet the conditions of appointment as set out in § 35 of the Saxony-Anhalt Higher Education Act. For the advertised professorship, these criteria are as follows:

• You will have successfully completed a university degree in the field of civil engineering and have a particular aptitude for scientific work, generally evidenced by a qualifying doctorate. Furthermore, you will have published work relevant to the area of the appointment.
• You will be able to demonstrate particular achievements in the application or development of scientific knowledge and methods in the field of Digital Methods in Structural Engineering. You will have accomplished these in professional practice of at least three years’ duration outside of the higher education sector. Experience of planning activities in structural engineering is expected.
• You will enjoy communicating information in a comprehensible and practical manner, be it face-to-face, online or via hybrid teaching methods / blended learning scenarios. Experience in teaching in a university or comparable situation as well as with working with learning platforms will be advantageous.
• Ideally you will be able to contribute exciting research ideas and some initial experience in the acquisition of third-party funds and the leadership of research projects. Equally, international experience is highly desirable.
• You know how to convey scientific knowledge in an easily understandable way in both German and English and to communicate securely in German in everyday life at the university. Through your willingness to work in teams and talent for communication, you will demonstrate your enjoyment of working with students and participating in constructive discourse for the good of the university.
