Working field:
The position includes the role of head of the new unit “Data Driven Mathematical Modeling” at Weierstrass Institute. The holder of the position covers teaching in the area of “Data Driven Mathematical Modeling” at TU Berlin. The regular teaching obligation is 2 course hours per week. Candidates should be able to teach in German as well as in English.

Weierstrass Institute conducts project-oriented research in applied analysis and applied stochastics, in order to contribute to the solution of complex economic, scientific, and technological problems. Research work at WIAS comprises the entire process of problem solution, from the mathematical modeling to the development of algorithms and to the numerical simulation of technological processes. The choice of WIAS’ application areas is oriented at public requirements like energy utilization, medical development, research of material characteristics or the quality analysis of technical innovations.

Further responsibilities include leadership and management of the work group and its staff, promotion of young scholars, women and social diversity, knowledge and technology transfer, internationalization initiatives, gender- and diversity-competent and sustainability-oriented action as well as committee and commission work.
Requirements:
Successful applicants must fulfill the requirements for appointment at the professor level in compliance with § 100 BerlHG (Berlin Higher Education Act), including a completed academic education in mathematics or a comparable discipline, qualified achievements in research (doctorate in mathematics or a comparable discipline), additional academic achievements and pedagogical-didactic qualifications, to be proven by teaching experience and visualized in a teaching portfolio (further information: https://www.tu-berlin.de/neuberufene/berufungsportal/bewerbung/lehrportfolio/).

Candidates have a profile in applied and computational mathematics, with special focus on the optimal combination of complex (for example thermodynamic consistent) models with data. The candidate’s research interest comprises the intersection of model driven and data driven approaches, combined with the development of new technologies and tools for the solving or addressing of problems with partial differential equations and subsequent data analysis. The development and analysis of methods in the area of artificial intelligence (for example machine learning) and their application in at least one of the following areas:

Modeling of materials
Optimization and regulation in technology and economy
Quantitative biomedicine and medical imaging
Transformation, storage and distribution of energy

Relevant experience in teaching, including the supervision of Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD theses, as well as experience in administrative duties and experience in third party funded and joint research projects is expected.

TU Berlin and Weierstrass Institute expect from their professors the ability to take responsibility for leadership and strategic development of their department and their employees. This also includes engagement in the promotion of young researchers and females, gender and diversity competencies in the sense of creating diversity sensible work and study conditions and substancial setting of impulses in research and teaching as well as participation in the academic administration of the university. Interdisciplinary cooperations, initiatives in science communication as well as in knowledge and technology transfer are desired. As an internationally distinguished university, we require good knowledge of English and welcome applications from non-German-speaking academics who are willing to learn the German language as soon as possible.
