Tenure-track Openings at Max Planck Institutes in Computer Science

November 24th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Hi everyone,
The Max Planck Institutes for Informatics (Saarbruecken), Software Systems (Saarbruecken and Kaiserslautern), and Security and Privacy (Bochum), invite applications for tenure-track faculty in all areas of computer science. We expect to fill several positions.

A doctoral degree in computer science or related areas and an outstanding research record are required. Successful candidates are expected to build a team and pursue a highly visible research agenda, both independently and in collaboration with other groups.

The institutes are part of a network of over 80 Max Planck Institutes, Germany’s premier basic-research organisations. MPIs have an established record of world-class, foundational research in the sciences, technology, and the humanities. The institutes offer a unique environment that combines the best aspects of a university department and a research laboratory: Faculty enjoy full academic freedom, lead a team of doctoral students and post-docs, and have the opportunity to teach university courses; at the same time, they enjoy ongoing institutional funding in addition to third-party funds, a technical infrastructure unrivaled for an academic institution, as well as internationally competitive compensation.

We maintain an international and diverse work environment and seek applications from outstanding researchers worldwide. The working language is English; knowledge of the German language is not required for a successful career at the institutes.
Qualified candidates should apply on our application website (apply.cis.mpg.de). 

To receive full consideration, applications should be received by December 15th, 2020.

The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented. Women are therefore explicitly encouraged to apply. The Max Planck Society is also committed to increasing the number of employees with severe disabilities in its workforce. Applications from persons with severe disabilities are expressly desired.

The initial tenure-track appointment is for five years; it can be extended to seven years based on a positive midterm evaluation in the fourth year. A permanent contract can be awarded upon a successful tenure evaluation in the sixth year.
cheers

(Please check the mentioned english translation)

The positions are research professorships with a reduced teaching load (German W2 level, maybe comparable to senior lecturer status or kind of assistant professor – see e.g (but with reduced teaching load)
https://www.research-in-germany.org/en/jobs-and-careers/info-for-senior-researchers/career-paths/professorship/professor-applied-sciences.html)

and will establish a center for AI (CAIRO) in Wuerzburg
– do research & attract projects
– have some minimal administrative duties
– have only 9 x 45 min teaching duties per week (9 SWS) during the terms
– will be involved in the new created MSc program on Artificial Intelligence

This is an exciting moment and chance.

The positions are located here in Wuerzburg and the curriculum will be (so far) in English only (it may be necessary to learn some German in the first years) . To be eligible it is mandatory to have 5 years working experience after MSc. including at least 3 years of industrial experience (can be spread and in parts some industry related research institute may also count).

The positions announced right now have the following topics:
 – Reasoning and Acting in AI / Foundations of Cognitive Computing
 – Representation and Learning in AI
 – Semantic Data Processing and Cognitive Computing
 – Robotics and AI (also linked to the Center Robotics and Intelligence
    (CERI)
