The Computer Science Institute at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural
Sciences of the University of Bonn, Germany, invites applications for a

   *W1-Professorship (Tenure Track W2) for Embedded Visual Computing*

starting as soon as possible.

The institute is looking for excellent candidates holding a doctoral degree
who are about to establish their own research agenda, complementing our
current activities in the areas of Visual Computing, Artificial
Intelligence,
Intelligent Systems, and Robotics.

Applicants must have demonstrated scientific excellence in at least one
of the
following areas:
– Deep learning for visual computing
– Parallel architectures for visual learning or inference
– Embedded systems for visual perception or display
– Energy-efficient computing
– Edge computing
– Novel computing paradigms, such as computing with stochastic elements or
   neuromorphic computing.

The successful candidate has a strong publication record. It is expected
that
the successful candidate actively participates in collaborative research
initiatives of the Computer Science Institute. Initial teaching duties are
four hours per week during lecture periods, e.g., in our English Master
Computer Science programme.

The initial employment of three years will be extended for three more years
after a positive intermediate evaluation. After successful tenure
evaluation,
the position will be permanent with W2 denomination. This professorate is
funded by the Tenure Track Program of the German Federal Government and the
