The Faculty of Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität

Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) invites applications for a

W2 Professorship for Computer Science – Visual Computing

(Associate Professor)

at the Department of Computer Science. The professorship is a full-time

and permanent position to be filled by the earliest possible starting date.

We seek to appoint an expert who will develop an internationally visible

research and teaching profile. Applicants should be skilled researchers

who have published relevant publications focusing on one or more areas

relating to visual computing such as

     Computer vision and 3D reconstruction

     Machine learning with regard to visual computing

     Virtual and extended reality

     Visual analytics / information visualization

     Human-machine interaction

     Geometry processing and 3D printing

     Computational photography / Cinematography

with experience in particular in interdisciplinary applications of

visual computing such as

     Digital humanities and social sciences

     Digitalised production and robotics

     Medical engineering and life sciences

The successful candidate will be expected to make a contribution to the

degree programmes offered by the Department of Computer Science and

become involved in the interdisciplinary centres and central institutes

at FAU.

Successful candidates demonstrate excellent academic achievements in

research and teaching at the highest international standards. You have

substantial research experience abroad as well as experience in managing

research projects and in raising third-party funding. A university

degree and an outstanding doctoral degree as well as a passion for

education and pertinent teaching experience [, including the ability to

teach in English,] are prerequisites. The position also requires

additional postdoctoral qualifications. These should be in the form of a

habilitation (postdoctoral thesis) or equivalent academic publications.

You may also have acquired the necessary qualifications in a

non-university context or through a junior faculty position (for example

as W1 Professor or Assistant Professor). [State additional

qualifications if required, for example, three years teaching experience

in the field of teacher training.]

FAU expects applicants to become actively involved in administering

academic affairs and in developing strategic initiatives. FAU pursues a

policy of intense student mentoring and therefore expects its teaching

staff to be present during lecture periods.

FAU offers an outstandingly productive research environment as well as a

passionate and multi-disciplinary scholarly community within a vibrant

institutional network.

In its pursuit of academic excellence, FAU is committed to equality of

opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach, which supports

and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive

culture and values diversity. FAU is a family-friendly employer and is

also responsive to the needs of dual career couples.
