approx. 80 chairs and over 10,000 students, the faculty is one of the largest in Germany.

We are looking for an internationally recognized personality in the field of metal forming process technology
and the processing of metallic functional and structural materials as well as material science issues. Metal
forming process technology includes processes from the manufacture of semi-finished products, such as
rolling technology, to further processing by means of sheet metal and bulk forming, such as deep drawing
and extrusion.

Current publications in peer-reviewed international journals as well as experiences in the acquisition of
competitive third-party funding projects, ideally in the area of publicly funded agencies such as the German
Research Foundation are expected. Relevant experience with or in industry in a responsible position is
desired.

The interest for intensive cooperation with the professorships of the Faculty of Engineering, in particular the
new chairs for Materials Engineering and Metallurgy and Foundry Technology, the interdisciplinary Center for
Nanointegration (CENIDE) of the UDE and the focus on Materials Chain of the University Alliance Ruhr is
expected. Likewise, the willingness to acquire, initiate and implement interdisciplinary third-party funded
projects and to establish and maintain international contacts is required.

In teaching, he/she is responsible for teaching in both German and English language. In addition to the basic
