At the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering TU Wien is offering the following tenure track pos
ition for 40 hours/week. Expected start: October 2026. The pos
ition is in
itially lim
ited to a period of six years, but the candidate and TU Wien can agree upon a tenure evaluation, which when pos
itive, opens the possibil
ity to change the pos
ition to Associate Professor w
ith an unlim
ited contract. The tenure-track pos
ition is affiliated to the Center of Dig
ital Fabrication of Structures and Systems at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. Duties include research and teaching in the field of Dig
ital Fabrication of Structures and Systems. The construction sector is facing major challenges: low productiv
ity growth, increasing demands for sustainabil
ity, and a growing need for innovation. Dig
ital fabrication offers new opportun
ities to fundamentally transform planning and production processes and to enable resource-efficient construction methods. In this context, dig
ital fabrication is considered a key driver of innovation, enabling the development of new design and production paradigms and actively supporting the transformation of the construction industry. TU Wien therefore aims to strategically expand this forward-looking research field and to strengthen
its international visibil
ity. The advertised tenure-track pos
ition is embedded in the newly established Center for Dig
ital Fabrication of Structures and Systems. The center serves as a joint platform for the faculty-wide research focus "Dig
ital Fabrication in Construction" and brings together the expertise of several research groups, w
ith a focus on add
itive manufacturing as well as human-robot collaboration and design for assembly and disassembly. As a core infrastructure, a new laboratory equipped w
ith state-of-the-art industrial robotics is currently being established. We are seeking researchers w
ith proven expertise in structural engineering and experience at the interface of dig
ital design and automated fabrication. In research, the successful candidate is expected to develop an independent and internationally recognized profile in dig
ital fabrication, pursuing an integrated approach that links design, structural engineering, and manufacturing. Particular emphasis should be placed on innovative approaches for developing resource-efficient and circular structures and systems, making use of existing research infrastructures and in close collaboration w
ith the participating research groups of the faculty. In teaching, the pos
ition involves contributing to the faculty's study programs, particularly in structural engineering, as well as developing new teaching formats in the field of dig
ital fabrication. Active supervision of students and early-career researchers is expected. The pos
ition also includes the scientific and organizational leadership of the center. This comprises the strategic development of research activ
ities, acquis
ition of third-party funding, establishment of national and international collaborations, further development of research infrastructure, and the pos
itioning of the center as a visible platform in the international research landscape. Tasks: Research: Innovative ideas in structural engineering A holistic approach to dig
ital fabrication, from planning to production, in collaboration w

ital fabrication in construction Teaching: In terms of teaching,
it is envisaged that the tenure track pos
ition will be used to further develop and deliver teaching in the field of dig
ital fabrication and robotics. In add
