Dear Colleagues:

Several positions at various levels (corresponding to graduate student,
Postdoc, assistant professor) are available in the Empirical Inference
department at the Max Planck Institute in Tuebingen, Germany, studying
learning theory and algorithms with applications in various domains.
Faculty, current postdocs and visitors of the department include
O. Bousquet, O. Chapelle, A. Elisseeff, G. Raetsch, C. Rasmussen,
