Assistant Professor (tenure-track) and Professor positions in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
Christoph Lampert
The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) invites applications for several open positions in machine learning, artificial intelligence and data science, as well as all areas of computer science. We also particularly welcome applications in statistics, bioinformatics, and robotics.
ISTA is a new and fast-growing publicly-funded research institute. Its mission is to foster curiosity-driven basic research in all natural sciences, computer science and mathematics. ISTA offers
an excellent research environment:
ISTA ranks first world-wide on csrankings.org for institutions with less than 20 CS faculty [1].
ISTA scientists have an exceptional track record at attracting third-party funding, e.g. one of the highest success rates for ERC grants in Europe [2].
ISTA is a founding member unit of the European ELLIS network of excellence [3].
A highly international and interdisciplinary campus [4] close to Vienna, one of the most livable cities in the world [5]. The working language on campus is English.
State-of-the-art administrative and scientific support services [6]
Substantial start-up package and attractive salary
Guaranteed annual base funding including funding for PhD students and postdocs
An international Graduate School with competitive admissions and a rigorous training program
Employee Assistance Program
Dual Career support packages
Child-care facilities on campus (for children aged 3 months till school age)
Assistant professors receive fully independent group leader positions with an initial contract of six years, at the end of which they are reviewed by international peers. If the evaluation is positive, an assistant professor is promoted to a tenured professor. Candidates for tenured positions are distinguished scientists in their respective research fields and typically have at least six years of experience in leading a research group.
ISTA values diversity and is committed to equal opportunities. We strive to increase the number of women, particularly in fields where they are underrepresented, and therefore we strongly encourage female researchers to apply.
