[Manuel Gomez Rodriguez]

Tenure-track openings
=================

Applications are invited for tenure-track faculty positions in all areas
related to the theory and practice of software systems, including security
and privacy, embedded and mobile systems,
computational social science, legal, economic, and social aspects of
computing, NLP, machine learning, information and knowledge management,
programming languages and verification, and parallel and distributed
systems.

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.

MPI-SWS, founded in 2005, is part of a network of over 80 Max Planck
Institutes, Germany's premier basic research facilities. MPIs have an
established record of world-class, foundational research in the sciences,
technology, and the humanities.  The institute offers a unique environment
that combines the best aspects of a university department and a research
laboratory: Faculty enjoy academic freedom, receive institutional funding
and attract additional third-party funds to build and lead a team of
graduate students and post-docs; they supervise doctoral theses, and have
the opportunity to teach graduate and undergraduate courses. The institute
offers outstanding technical
infrastructure and administrative support, as well as internationally
competitive compensation.

The institute is located in Kaiserslautern and Saarbruecken, in the
tri-border area of Germany, France and Luxembourg.  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 institute.

Qualified candidates should apply at https://apply.mpi-sws.org/. To receive
full consideration, applications should be received by December 15, 2015.

The institute is committed to increasing the representation of minorities,
women and individuals with physical disabilities in Computer Science. We
particularly encourage such individuals to apply.
The initial tenure-track appointment is for five years; it can be extended
to seven years based on a midterm evaluation in the fourth year. A
permanent contract can be awarded upon a successful tenure evaluation in
the sixth year.
