[TYPES/announce] Open Tenure Track Professorship at TU Clausthal, Germany (Topics: Security, but also Static Analysis & PL)

[Rüdiger Ehlers]

The Faculty of Mathematics/Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering of the
Clausthal University of Technology is seeking to appoint the Position of

	     Junior Professorship (Salary Scale W1 NBesO)
          with Tenure Track (leading to Salary Scale W2 NBesO)
                      ”Secure IT-Systems” (m/f/d)

at the Institute for Software and Systems Engineering as soon as possible.

The applicant is responsible for the organisation and further development of the
teaching and research portfolios for secure IT-Systems, in particular for the
Computer Science (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) and Digital Technologies (B.Sc. and M.Sc.)
courses of study.

The professorship will focus on innovative areas of Secure IT-Systems with a high
potential for innovation and third-party funding. In particular, the following
scientific expertise is expected:

1. Security Approaches from Development to Operations (IT-Security for DevOps)
2. Static Analysis of Software, in particular regarding IT-Security.

The applicant should also have substantial research experience in at least one of
the following areas:

3. Programming Languages for Secure Systems
4. Proof-Carrying Code & Compiler for Secure Systeme
5. Symbolic Execution or Symbolic Testing for Secure Systems
6. Security Monitoring of IT-Systems in Operation
7. Defense for IT-Systems in case of attacks
8. Security for Cloud Applications
9. Structured approaches to IT Security in DevOps

The main goal is to establish a research branch in Secure IT-Systems at TU
Clausthal that is strong in research and third-party funding.

Within the university, the professorship should actively contribute to the Open
Cyberphysical Systems and Simulation research area and thus strengthen the
digitalization-related research profile of our engineering sciences and computer
science institutes. We expect the appointed applicant to become an active member
of the Center for Digital Technologies (DIGIT). This includes in particular the
participation in the bachelor, master and further education programs of the joint
study program Digital Technologies as well as the further development of this
study program, which Clausthal University of Technology and the Ostfalia
University of Applied Sciences offer in cooperation. In addition, the DIGIT and
the associated silverLabs digitalisation laboratories offer the opportunity to
actively participate in research projects. Cooperating with the Clausthal Research
Center for Environmental Technologies (CUTEC) and the Simulation Science Center
Clausthal-Göttingen (SWZ) is also desired.

The requirements of the position are defined in Section 30 of the Niedersachsen
Higher Education Act (Niedersächsisches Hochschulgesetz NHG). Junior professors
are appointed to a fixed term of three years (in line with § 30 Abs. 4 of the
Niedersachsen Higher Education Act, NHG). In case of a positive evaluation of this
term, the appointment can be extended by up to three additional years. After at
most five years overall, the tenure-track evaluation process as outlined in the
“Tenure Track Ordnung der TU Clausthal” (Ordnung zur Gewährung einer Professur auf
Lebenszeit im Tenure Track-Verfahren) can be initiated. In case of a positive
outcome and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the junior
professorship will be converted to a permanent professorship (Salary Scale W2).

Experience in the acquisition of third-party funded projects is expected.

The willingness to hold courses in German and English is a prerequisite. Strong
commitment to teaching is expected.

The Clausthal University of Technology wishes to increase the number of its female
faculty. Therefore, applications from female candidates are particularly welcome.
Candidates with disabilities who are equally qualified will be given preference.
Applications from international scientists are welcome; proficiency in the German
language is desired for teaching and committee work.

A part-time professorship is possible upon request.

Applicants who are 50 years or older at the time the appointment commences and who
do not hold already a permanent civil servant status (Beamtenverhältnis auf
Lebenszeit) will be employed with employee status (Angestelltenverhältnis).

the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics/Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering
at Clausthal University of Technology, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Volker Wesling, Leibnizstr.
