Our profile

TU Dortmund University comprises 17 departments in the natural and engineering sciences as well as the humanities and social sciences and is a dynamic university with a strong profile in research, teaching, promotion of young scientists and transfer.

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology conducts research in interdisciplinary cooperation with partners from science and industry on holistic methods for the resource-efficient and sustainable design of networked, reliable technical systems in hardware and software. It thus strives to make constructive and concrete contributions to addressing social challenges in the areas of “sustainable energy supply”, “resilient infrastructures” and “demographic change”. The department is already recognized for its research activities in digital infrastructures and systems (e.g., 6G mobile networks) and seeks to complement these areas with the appointment of the advertised professorship.

Attractive environment

We offer an excellent academic environment and attractive cooperation opportunities with renowned international, national, and regional partners. The metropolitan Ruhr Area with the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) guarantees short distances to a diversity of partners from science and industry. With our Dual Career Service, we support your partner in finding professional opportunities in the region, if desired. We will be happy to provide information about housing and living in Dortmund and help you find childcare options. If you are coming to us from abroad, our Welcome Service will support you upon your arrival in Germany.

Diversity welcome

A central goal of TU Dortmund University is to promote diversity and equal opportunities. We strive to significantly increase the percentage of women in research and teaching and therefore welcome applications from female academics. We give preference to severely disabled applicants if their qualifications meet the requirements. We support the compatibility of family and career and promote gender equality in academia and research.
