The applicant should have internationally recognized expertise in the field of High- Performance Computing (HPC) in science and engineering, and is expected to strengthen the distributed systems profile of HSU/UniBwHwith ideally both a theoretical and a practical background in the following areas:

• Development and implementation of parallel, distributed and scalable algorithms for HPC systems
• Programming languages, software engineering and techniques for massively parallel systems
• Experience and knowledge in the application of HPC to fields of engineering, like material science, fluid and structural mechanics, molecular simulations or electromagnetics, with special focus on multiscale simulations

The successful candidate is expected to build the interface between computer science, numerical mathematics and engineering sciences. Strong cooperation with existing research groups of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the other two professorships is strongly encouraged. This activity should lead to a top-level research program and a Center of Scientific Computing, closely connected to further activities in the metropolitan area of Hamburg.

The new professorship will be fully involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching activities. This will include the Bachelor and Master programs of the faculties, in particular the English curricula Engineering Science: Defence Systems. Apart from the core modules, the successful applicant will be expected to run some advanced courses on the topics related to his/her specific fields of research.

The Faculties of Mechanical and of Electrical Engineering offer excellent equipment and infrastructure facilities, collegiate atmosphere to stimulate collaboration and opportunities to actively shape future research strategies as well as develop innovative teaching concepts. The successful candidates will have full access to this excellent infrastructure and inspiring research and learning environment. The positions are supported by a generous budget for personnel and equipment costs.
The Helmut Schmidt University / University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg offers bachelor and master degree courses for officer candidates and officers based on a trimester system with a shortened standard period of study and complemented by interdisciplinary course elements (ISA). In individual cases, scholarship holders from industry are accepted.

The holder of the position is expected to prepare students for occupations in and outside the Federal Armed Forces that require the application of academic knowledge andmethods and to additionally assume functions in the field of further education and ISA teaching.

The required qualifications and service law status of professors are defined in the Federal Civil Service Act. Applicants under the age of 50 on the day of their appointment can become civil servants. Applicants 50 years old or older at the date of employment, who do not yet hold a civil servant status, will qualify only for an employee status.

Applicants are also expected to have competence in gender equality matters.

Applications from women are explicitly welcome. Women of equal aptitude, qualification and professional merit who apply for positions in areas in which they are underrepresented will be given preferential consideration unless reasons regarding a fellow applicant as a person outweigh.

Applications from disabled persons are explicitly welcome. Severely disabled persons and equals who are of equal aptitude will be given preferential consideration. They will only be required to have a minimum of physical aptitude. Individual disability-related constraints will only rule out preferential consideration being given if certain abilities are mandatory for the position to be filled.

Full applications (motivation letter, curriculum vitae, statement on research interests and plans, lists of publications, funding and teaching record, and five most important publications) should be sent exclusively in electronic format only, quoting the reference number
