with a six year contract, to be filled on October 1^st 2019. In being appointed to the chair, evaluation criteria will be mutually agreed upon, which will be evaluated by a TU Dresden evaluation commission at the latest in the fifth year of the chair. The main focus of the evaluation will be the scientific success in the form of subject-relevant and high-quality publications, the acquisition of third-party research funds as well as related project management in each case at the level of a W3 chair, commitment and success in teaching performance and promotion of young scientists, the networking in the scientific community and special commitment to the academic selfadministration. Following a positive evaluation, a permanent Chair (W3) of Business Informatics, esp. Business Engineering will be granted.

During the temporary position at the chair, the applicant must prove that she/he is capable of fulfilling all requirements in teaching and research in this field. The successful candidate will conduct research and teaching activities in the field of Business Engineering and participate in academic selfadministration. The professor is expected to teach courses in the faculty's bachelor, master and Diplom programmes, in particular in business information systems & engineering (BISE) foundations and in the systems development specialization. We also expect the successful candidate to cooperate actively with both, the members of the faculty and other disciplines within the university, and to contribute to external fundraising.      

The ideal candidate holds an excellent PhD (or equivalent) in BISE and has a track record of additional excellent academic achievements demonstrated through presentations and papers in top international scientific conferences and journals. In line with the faculty's and the BISE group's profile we expect the candidate to conduct design science research aimed at the development of theories for design and action. We additionally welcome a research focus in those fields of Business Engineering that specifically relate to digital transformation of organisations. A domain focus in any of TUD's research priority areas – preferably based on industry collaborations – is of advantage. Experience in acquiring third-party funding and in the respective management of research projects are required. We expect good teaching skills as well as the ability and willingness to offer courses in English. Proficiency in German is not a prerequisite for appointment. However, we expect the successful candidate to acquire sufficient language skills in German to conduct teaching and administrative tasks within two years of appointment. Candidates who hold a PhD at the TU Dresden should have worked at least two years in a research position outside of TU Dresden to be eligible. Applicants must fulfil the employment qualification requirements of § 58 of the Act on the Autonomy of Institutions of Higher Education in the Free State of Saxony (SächsHSFG).
