Your profile

We are looking for a person with a university degree in computer science or comparable, as well as special aptitude for scientific work, which is usually demonstrated by a qualified doctorate. The candidate should represent the areas of multimedia knowledge transfer (remote / presence / eLearning / blended learning) and empirical methods of computer science in teaching and applied research. Relevant professional experience in the following areas is expected :

• Multimedia knowledge transfer, especially in face-to-face, remote, eLearning and blended learning teaching / learning scenarios.
• Methods of empirical social research, in particular the planning, creation, implementation and evaluation of qualitative and quantitative studies.
• Management and communication techniques, especially in the area of social skills and computer-aided communication media, mechanisms and processes.

The subject areas are to be represented in both teaching and applied research. Very good didactic skills are a matter of course, as is the willingness to participate in exchanges with our international partner universities and to offer courses in English. In addition, we expect committed participation in teaching in basic subjects and, if necessary, in lectures in related fields.

We expect the applicant to integrate well into the existing team both professionally and personally, to be involved in the academic self-administration of our university and to enjoy imparting knowledge from their own professional experience to students.

The university has a large number of collaborations with universities and research institutions such as Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes and companies, which we would like to intensify and expand.

Active participation in the university's research activities is desired. In this context, we are striving to increase third-party funding and the number of cooperative doctorates.

We advocate a supervision concept that requires a high presence of teaching staff at the university location.

German language skills (at least level C1) and English language skills are required.

The recruitment requirements for professors are regulated in Section 49 of the Rhineland-Palatinate Higher Education Act.

We expressly welcome applications from all age groups and regardless of gender identity, disability, ethnic background, religion, ideology, sexual orientation or identity.
