W 2-Professorship in "Power Electronics for Electromobility"

Kiel University aims to attract more qualified women to professorships. The Department of Electrical and Information Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering of Kiel University (CAU) invites applications for a

W 2-Professorship in
“Power Electronics for Electromobility“

to start at the earliest possible time. The future job holder shall be responsible for the subject area in research and teaching. The research area covers the conception, design and experimental verification of power electronic systems for electromobility, which use future components of power electronics and information technologies and take aging behavior into account. The activities are intended to complement the area of power electronics, charging infrastructures and the interface to storage technologies. The expansion of the interdisciplinary Laboratory for Reliable Battery Assisted Energy Conversion (BAEW) will be actively pursued. A person is sought who has scientific credentials in at least two of the following areas:

• Cognitive and AI-based power electronics
• Power electronics for charging infrastructures and storage technologies
• Thermal management for integrated electromobility systems
• Wide-bandgap semiconductor-based power electronic circuits.

Practical knowledge in the research field is desired. International scientific experience is welcomed. Willingness to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration in existing and planned collaborative research initiatives in electrical and information engineering as well as materials science is expected. Corresponding initiatives exist in the area of sustainable energies through the use of innovative materials and concepts, network theory and artificial intelligence, for example in the BAEW laboratory and within the CAU focus "Kiel Nano, Surface and Interface Science (KiNSIS)". The professorship is to be integrated into the joint initiative between CAU and the Fraunhofer Institute ISIT (ISIT@CAU "Electronic Energy Systems"). Experience with the acquisition of third-party funds and in teaching is an advantage. In the area of teaching, cooperation in the department's teaching program in accordance with the valid teaching obligation ordinance is required. The willingness to learn the German language and to teach in German (after three years) and English (from the beginning) in Bachelor and Master programs and to take over compulsory courses in the field is expected. Please refer to the recruitment requirements of § 61 of the Higher Education Act of the State of Schleswig-Holstein. More information can be found at www.berufungen.uni-kiel.de (in German). Kiel University is striving to increase the number of female scientists in research and teaching and therefore expressly encourages qualified women to apply. Women will be given priority if their aptitude, qualifications and professional performance are of equal value. The university is committed to the employment of severely disabled people. For this reason, severely disabled applicants will be given preferential treatment if they have the appropriate qualifications. We expressly welcome applications from people with a migration background. Application photographs are not required and we expressly request that you refrain from submitting any. Applications with the usual documents (curriculum vitae, list of publications, list and evaluation of courses taught, copies of academic certificates, research and teaching concept) along with your private and business address, telephone number and e-mail address should be sent until January 3rd, 2023 preferably in electronic form as single pdf to the dean of the faculty of engineering (dekanat@tf.uni-kiel.de). For clarifications regarding the application please contact the chairmen of the search committee Prof. Peter Höher (ph@tf.uni-kiel.de). Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Kiel University
