Adaptation strategies of plants to climate and habitat,
Capturing diversity and traditional knowledge in the context of global change,
Functional morphology, anatomy and biomimetics.

In this context, we expect an intensive cooperation with TUD's Botanical Garden. Cooperation with
other faculties (e.g., Environmental Sciences or Mechanical Science and Engineering), institutions of
the university (e.g., the Biotechnological Center (BIOTEC) or the Center for Molecular Bioengineering
(B CUBE), as well as non-university research institutions, such as the museums of the Senckenberg
Society for Nature Research in Dresden and Görlitz, will be welcome. We expect you to participate in
interdisciplinary collaborative projects, contribute to overarching initiatives such as the Excellence
Strategy, and actively support academic self-administration.

We are looking for you as a personality with an international scientific track-record in the field of
Functional Diversity and Evolution of Plants. This can be demonstrated by your publications, your
international networking and your results of teaching evaluations. Your research achievements
possess a high potential for further development. We wish for extensive experience in autonomous
