Offer Description

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is inviting applications for the position of a

W3 professorship for Macromolecular Chemistry

as of the next possible date or later.

The call is addressed to nationally and internationally recognized scientists whose research focus is in a current area of preparative organic polymer chemistry.

The professorship is closely integrated into the strategy of Chemistry to further develop and expand the area of sustainability as a central link between the existing research groups. The orientation of the professorship requires the development of sustainable synthetic materials synthesis routes, such as bioinspired/biobased polymers or polymer transformation and degradation (e.g. switchable material properties, recycling, biodegradability, energy conversion materials, shape memory materials). The research is expected to complement existing areas of work in a meaningful way.

A high level of commitment to teaching, interest in interdisciplinary scientific work, and active participation in research initiatives within Chemistry and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences are welcomed. Evidence of the successful acquisition of external funding, the independent establishment of a research group and an outstanding publication record in international peer-reviewed journals will be expected. It is required that the future holder of the position is able to represent teaching in macromolecular chemistry in the entire breadth of the bachelor’s and master’s programs in chemistry, biochemistry and business chemistry in German. Participation in the academic self-administration is expected.

Conditions for employment are, in addition to general administrative conditions in accordance with § 36 of the North Rhine-Westphalia University Act (Gesetz über die Hochschulen des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen), an aptitude for teaching, exceptional competence in research, and additional scientific achievements.

Female candidates are encouraged to apply; they will be given preference in cases of equal aptitude, ability, and professional achievements unless there are exceptional reasons for choosing another applicant.

Heinrich Heine University lives the principle „excellence through diversity“. HHU has signed the “Charta der Vielfalt (diversity)” and successfully participated in the audit “Shaping Diversity” of the Stifterverband. HHU is certified as family-friendly and aims to promote its employees’ diversity.

Applications from suitably qualified severely disabled persons or disabled persons regarded as being of equal status according to Book IX of the German Social Legal Code (SGB – Soziales Gesetzbuch) are encouraged.

At Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, appointments may also be part-time, provided there are no overriding administrative reasons in individual cases for requiring full-time employment.

Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf offers a Dual Career Service and is a member of the Rhineland Dual Career Network (Dual Career Netzwerk Rheinland). Further information can be found under www.dualcareer-rheinland.de .

For further inquiries, please contact Prof. Dr. Thomas J. J. Müller.

Please submit your application with (1) a letter of motivation, (2) a curriculum vitae including lists of all scientific publications and competitively acquired third-party funds (incl. scholarships), (3) copies of academic certificates, (4) a brief research and teaching concept (max. 5 pages), as well as (5) a course catalogue via the appointment portal https://berufungsportal.hhu.de/ and complete the information requested there as fully as possible.
