RWTH Aachen University just announced a job opening for a research
professorship at RWTH Aachen:
Research (Full) Professorship in Technology & Entrepreneurship
- Opportunity to work on one of Europe's leading institutes of technology
- Full professorship, however, not tenured but restricted to 4.5 years.
Follow-up funding should be available, but is not guaranteed.
- Almost no teaching duties (just 1 PhD seminar/year)
- Integration in a strong group of researchers at Aachen
- No German language requirements
I personally would see this position as a great opportunity for anyone who
likes to focus -- with nice funding -- on research and building her/his
career, being placed into one of Europe's best institutes of technologies
with plenty of opportunities (but no duties) for interdisciplinary research.
From the official announcement:
Within the "Excellence Initiative" - the German federal and state
governments' framework to promote cutting-edge research in and to enhance
the quality of the country's universities - the School of Business and
Economics at RWTH Aachen University is currently in the process of
establishing four Research Areas. All four of them will be brought together
under one roof, that of the Interdisciplinary Management Factory (IMF),
which will serve to substantially enhance the School's research profile.
Each Research Area will address global challenges, which can only be tackled
via interdisciplinary and integrated research - a form of research that one
of Europe's leading universities of technology is optimally equipped to
carry out.
The successful candidate will contribute substantially toward the
development of the TIME Research Area by conducting internationally
high-level research that has a quantitative orientation. Possible research
focuses might be business start-ups, intrapreneurship, technology
management, technology transfer, or innovation marketing processes. The
teaching load will encompass two hours per semester. The professorship is
limited to a period of four years.
A Ph.D. degree is required; additionally, Habilitation (post-doctoral
lecturing qualification), an exemplary record of research achievement as an
assistant / an associate / a junior professor or university researcher
and/or an outstanding career outside academia are highly desirable. Ability
in and commitment to teaching are essential. German is not necessary to
begin. Applications from early-stage researchers are particularly welcome.
