W 2 endowed professorship for „Food Technology and Digitalisation“ (m/w/d)
As part of a joint appointment procedure with the German Institute of Food Technologies (DIL), the Foundation of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo) is seeking to fill the above-mentioned W2 professorship at the joint branch of the TiHo and the DIL “Food Science and Technology Campus Artland” in Quakenbrück as soon as possible.
The DIL is a non-profit research institute supported by more than 175 members from industry, science and politics. It stands for competence across the entire spectrum of food science and operates in the fields of process engineering, materials science, analytics and sustainability. The DIL acts as a link between science and practice, supporting its partners in the innovation process.
The appointment for the professorship mentioned above will be made based on an employment contract at the DIL with a grade W 2, initially limited to five years.
Areas of responsibility:
The professorship is intended to represent the field of general food technology with a view to digitalisation in the food sector. The professorship’s research area is to address, among other things, possibilities for using artificial intelligence in the area of food design and processing, for example, to optimise the value chain in the food sector through digitalisation and data use. In addition, the need for digitalisation in food processing will be identified and solutions developed in the form of a digitalisation strategy. The professorship will be integrated into the planned English-language Master’s programme in Food Process and Product Engineering at the Artland Campus in Quakenbrück. In addition, the professorship may be involved in teaching the German-language degree programme in veterinary medicine in Hanover in the elective subjects.
