Position Description

The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg has a vacancy in the Institute for Computer Science for a Junior Professorship for Visual Computing (of grade W1 with tenure-track on a university professorship of grade W2) to be filled as soon as possible.

The applicant (m/f/d) should represent the field of Visual Computing in research and teaching. The aim is to attract a high-profile academic and to strengthen the faculty's potential for third-party funding. The following areas of specialization are advantageous:

·         Real-time Physics Simulation (z.B. GPU-based Fluid Dynamics)

·         Efficient Data-driven Physics Simulation/Surrogate Models

·         Data-driven 3D-Reconstruction or Graphical Asset Generation

·         Efficient Visualization and Animation

The Institute of Computer Science and the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS) at the University of Würzburg offer good opportunities for joint research.

Teaching responsibilities include contributions to the bachelor's and master's programmes offered by the University of Würzburg's Institute of Computer Science, particularly in the areas of ‘Games Engineering’ and ‘Computer Science & Sustainability’. The professorship is expected to be involved in setting up English-language master's programmes in these areas.

The University of Würzburg places great importance on providing intensive support for students and doctoral candidates and expects the same level of commitment from its teaching staff.


The junior professorship shall be filled on a temporary civil service basis for an initial period of three years. The temporary civil service relationship shall be extended up to a total period of six years upon probation. Continuation and appointment as a university professor in grade W2 in a civil service relationship for life will be granted, if the junior professor will have fulfilled the requirements of the university's internal quality assurance concept.
