Salzburg University of Applied Sciences employs 450 staff members at its four campuses: Campus Urstein, Campus Kuchl, Campus Uniklinikum Salzburg, and Campus Schwarzach. In 18 bachelor's and 15 master's degree programs, 3,200 students train in the fields of engineering, business and social sciences, design, media & art, as well as health sciences.
 
For part-time teaching in the Department of Creative Technologies we are offering the following external teaching assignment for summer semester 2025.
 
Lectureship Physics-based Simulation
(up to 3 semester hours – lecture and exercise, SS 2025)
 
The language of instruction is English.

Tasks

  • Collaborating with the heads of the academic areas and fellow lecturers to coordinate the syllabus.
  • Preparing teaching materials and content.
  • Delivering on-site instruction at Campus Urstein.
  • Conducting student assessments and evaluations.
 
The course is offered in the 2nd semester of the Master's degree program MultiMediaTechnology and is held as a lecture and exercise. Students learn concepts of physics-based simulation including mathematical problems. The course includes advanced concepts and techniques of physical real-time simulation (e.g. rigid body/soft body physics, fluid simulation, ray tracing) and suitable methods for the implementation of physical effects. 

Profile

We are looking for an applicant with a Master's degree or equivalent professional qualification in computer science, who ideally has teaching experience at universities and practical experience with the implementation of physical real-time simulations.

Conditions
