Beschreibung

TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation
and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent
university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their
achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the
Faculty of Environmental Sciences,
Department of Hydrosciences, the
Institute of Urban

Chair (W3) of Urban Water Management
to be filled as of
October 1, 2025.

We are looking for an individual (M/F/x) who represents the field of urban water management and
urban waste resource management in teaching and research with a focus on engineering issues. In
research, the chair is expected to deal with the development and evaluation of innovative approaches
towards resilient water quantity and quality management systems in settlement areas. This also
includes the management of anthropogenic pollution and wastewater reuse for different purposes.
One focus area of the professorship will be the coupling of transport and conversion processes across
compartment boundaries. Possible further topics will concern extreme and compound events as well
as the interaction between technical and natural systems (e. g. interaction of groundwater and sewer
networks; rainwater infiltration or effects on surface waters). Due to the structure and cooperation
with the natural sciences and engineering working groups of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences,
you will be active in both applied and basic research. Furthermore, active cooperation with partner
institutions in DRESDEN-concept on the topic of integrated water resource management is
presupposed; DRESDEN-concept is a research alliance of TUD and local non-university research and
cultural institutions, such as the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ and the Dresden
- based Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources of the United Nations
University (UNU-FLORES). Your teaching activities will focus on students with a specialisation in hydro
sciences and will partially be in English. Basic and advanced education of students in the field of urban
water management and the interaction with the adjacent systems of hydrology, groundwater and
surface waters will be included. The focus is on the precipitation-runoff process in urban areas,
wastewater treatment using conventional and modern processes, modelling the transportation and
elimination of substances in said processes, integrated water resource management and the handling
of anthropogenic substances in urban water systems. The integration into teaching takes place within
the framework of the bachelor's degree program in hydro sciences and the master's degree programs
offered in the hydro sciences and Faculty of Environmental Sciences. Part of your task will be the
further development and internationalization of these degree programs. A willingness to actively
participate in academic self-administration will be required.

We expect you to have successfully distinguished yourself in academic activities in a current field of
the appointment with a very good international track record, excellent research achievements with
high development potential, teaching experience, special didactic skills and success in acquiring third
- party funding. Your high-ranking publications, your distinctive international network and the results
of your teaching evaluation serve as proof of this. In particular, we expect the ability to acquire
projects of the German Research Foundation (DFG) as well as their integration into existing and future
large-scale interdisciplinary projects in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering of TUD. In
addition to the general requirements under employment law, applicants must fulfill the appointment
requirements of - 59 of the Institutions of Higher Education Act in the Free State of Saxony
(SächsHSG).
