If you are attending NIPS and would like to know more about the positions
below, please contact Manuel Gomez Rodriguez (manuelgr at mpi-sws.org) and/or
Adish Singla (adishs at mpi-sws.org).

Applications are invited for faculty positions at all career stages in
computer science, with a particular emphasis on systems (broadly
construed). We expect multiple positions to be filled in systems, but
exceptional candidates in other areas of computer science are also strongly
encouraged to apply.

A doctoral degree in computer science or related areas and an outstanding
research record (commensurate for the applicant’s career stage) 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 is 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 institute offers 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.

The institute is located in the German cities of Saarbruecken and
Kaiserslautern, 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 on our application website (
apply.mpi-sws.org). To receive full consideration, applications should be
received by December 1st, 2017.

The institute is committed to increasing the representation of minorities,
women, and individuals with physical disabilities. 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.
