It pursues a long-term overall development program aimed at making TU Dresden an international top university.
At the Faculty of Computer Science, the Institute of Systems Architecture, for the Cluster of Excellence “Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop” (CeTI), invites applications for a
Junior Professorship (W1) in Computer Science, specifically Tactile Computing
with a four-year contract, to be filled at the earliest possible date.
Following a positive interim evaluation, the contract will be extended to a total of six years. Evaluation criteria mutually agreed upon when the position is accepted will form the basis of the evaluation procedure. Key performance criteria are scientific success in the form of the development of an independent research profile for Tactile Computing, its implementation in third-party funded projects and publications, furthermore the significant participation in
internationally peer-reviewed publications and international conferences, success in the acquisition of third-party funding, active cooperation in the Cluster of Excellence CeTI as well as positively evaluated teaching performance.
In the context of the “Internet of Skills,” you investigate together with CeTI partners from the Faculty of Psychology and the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering how low latency haptic feedback can be used in the tactile internet for skills learning. We expect prior work in one or more of the following research areas: in visual computing (e.g. haptic interaction, immersive collaboration, real-time pose estimation and tracking); in data security (e.g. low latency
cryptography, confidential computing); in software engineering (e.g. self-adaptive systems, software architectures); in distributed systems (e.g. fog, edge or mobile computing, haptic control systems); in robotics (e.g. fog robotics or tele-robotics). Besides the active participation in the area “Internet of Skills” of the Cluster of Excellence CeTI, we expect you to collaborate closely with the other institutes at the Faculty of Computer Science, the Institute of Communication Technology at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Chair of Industrial Design Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering as well as the chairs of the Faculty of Psychology in CeTI. A collaboration with the Competence Center ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig is possible.
We are seeking a scientifically distinguished person who is passionate about working with graduate students, training the next generation of researchers and covering research and teaching in one or more of the above-mentioned research areas with application in Tactile Computing. To this end, you should prove software engineering experience, international publications as well as experience in the independent acquisition and management of research projects in the abovementioned research fields. Your duties include the active participation in academic selfadministration. Applicants must fulfil the employment qualification requirements of § 63 of the Act on the Autonomy of Institutions of Higher Education in the Free State of Saxony (SächsHSFG).
