“Friedrich List” Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences - Dresden Institute of Automobile Engineering
Chair of Automobile Engineering
Technische Universität Dresden, 01062 Dresden
The Chair of Automotive Engineering is offering the position of
Research Group Leader Automotive Human Factors (m/w/d)
(TV-L 14 if personal requirements are met),
starting 01.04.2023. The position is permanent. It is possible to attain further academic
qualification (usually habilitation).
You lead a team of scientists on behavior and modeling of drivers and road users,
objectification of subjective driving impressions and user-friendly design of humanmachine interfaces. You will also coordinate the activities of the professorship of
automotive engineering in university teaching. Our vehicle technology test center with 11
state-of-the-art test benches for vehicle physics and a highly immersive driving simulator
that is unique in the world, are available to you as instruments. They build on extensive
preliminary work in the form of existing driver models, traffic models and tool chains. The
professorship in automotive engineering is part of the faculty for transport sciences
"Friedrich List" at the TU Dresden with extensive interdisciplinary cooperation
opportunities.
If you are interested in a dynamic, team-oriented working environment for future
mobility, you have come to the right place. Our partners include well-known international
institutes, well-known vehicle manufacturers, as well as market-leading suppliers and
development service providers. Interest in new challenges and personal development is
particularly important to us.
Your tasks include:
• Management of the Automotive Human Factors research group: This includes the
professional scientific orientation, the establishment and expansion as well as the
leadership of the employees of the research group. You report to the head of the
Institute / Professorship.
• Alignment of research topics in the scientific context of behavior modeling,
objectification of subjective driving impressions and user-friendly design of
human-machine interfaces, especially for partially and highly automated driving.
