The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Tuebingen, Germany, has an opening for a research group leader position (W2 level - equivalent to assistant/associate professor level). Applications will still be accepted!
https://is.tue.mpg.de/jobs/research-group-leader-f-m
***************
Research Group Leader (f/m)
The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent System seeks to understand the principles of Perception, Action and Learning in autonomous systems that successfully interact with complex environments and to use this understanding to design future systems. The Institute studies these principles in computational, biological, hybrid, and material systems and is taking a highly interdisciplinary approach that combines mathematics, computation, material science, and biology.
Located in two institute sites, the MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen focuses on how intelligent systems process information to perceive, act and learn.
We are looking for outstanding candidates in the field of intelligent systems exhibiting perception, action, or learning. Examples include
• Theoretical work broadly aimed at understanding organizing principles underlying intelligent behavior (including evolution, game theory, mechanism design, collective behavior, and general AI)
• Research in robotics, perception or learning on all length scales
• Research that exploits physical properties of robotic systems and that can make use of the big data generated by complex robots
• Computer vision/perception at all length scales, including novel approaches to small scale vision, which must be light and low power
• Research that integrates robotics, vision, touch and learning
Candidates should have an outstanding international track record. The establishment of a competitive research program is expected.
The Max Planck Research Group is initially limited to five years, but may be extended. It offers junior scientists who hold a doctoral degree an excellent opportunity to qualify for a further career at a high level. The group leader position is at W2 level (equivalent to assistant or associate professor level). The successful applicant enjoys an independent status within the institute. Group leader and group members draw on infrastructure and administration of the Max Planck Institute but are also provided considerable funds for personnel, equipment and running costs that enable the group leader to flexibly engage in her or his research project.
The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
Applications should be sent in English as a single pdf-file, quoting the reference number 53.15. by December 11, 2015 to pers...@vw.mpi-stuttgart.mpg.de. Inquiries should be sent to matthias...@tuebingen.mpg.de. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
