Scientific Environment
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is not just the aeronautics and space research center of the Federal Republic of Germany. It conducts research and development activities in the fields of aeronautics, space, energy and transport, and their interdisciplinary topics security and digitalisation. Climate, mobility and technology are changing globally. DLR uses the expertise of its 55 research institutes and facilities with 10.000 employees to develop solutions to these challenges. The DLR Institute of Test and Simulation for Gas Turbines at the DLR site in Augsburg is dedicated to digitalization of aeroengines and is still in the process of being established with a current staff of around 30.

Responsibilities
Responsibilities include managing the DLR Institute of Test and Simulation for Gas Turbines, as well as supervising and promoting young scientists. The research field includes testing and simulation for gas turbines with a focus on virtual engine models as well as lifetime computational methods for materials and engine components under extreme mechanical, thermal and chemical loads. The institute develops and operates test rigs for the experimental investigation and validation of numerical methods. Teaching tasks include participation in the bachelor's and master's degree courses at TUM.

Qualifications
We are looking for candidates with an exceptional international scientific reputation in the above-mentioned focus areas, who has demonstrated outstanding achievements in research and teaching and is very well networked, both nationally and internationally.
