Connectionists: Professorship positions to be filled in artificial intelligence / machine learning (Deadline 03.01.21)

[Frank-Michael Schleif]

Dear all,

we are creating a new center on artificial intelligence in Wuerzburg,
Germany
(CAIRO) with multiple open positions (right now we announced 4 positions)
https://www.fhws.de/service/stellenausschreibungen-der-fhws/online-stellenportal-fuer-professuren-und-lehrpersonal/
(english translation available - just scroll down; You do not have to
provide German translations to the system - English documents are
fine)

<< If the position may not fit for you please forward this email to
other colleagues which may be interested - thanks. >>

The positions are research professorships
(German W2 level, maybe comparable to reader status or kind of
assistant professor, well paid and tenured life long positions)
and will establish a center for AI (CAIRO) in
Wuerzburg
- do research & attract projects
- have some minimal administrative duties
- have only 9 x 45 min teaching duties per week (9 SWS) during the terms
- will be involved in the new created MSc program on Artificial Intelligence

Additional funding to establish a group is also available.

This is an exciting moment and chance (deadline 03.01.2021)

The positions are located here in Wuerzburg and the curriculum will be
(so far) in English only (it may be necessary to learn some German in the
first years). To be eligible it is mandatory to have 5 years working
experience after MSc including at least 3 years of industrial
experience (can be spread and industry related research (institutes) also
count).

The positions announced right now have the following topics:
- Reasoning and Acting in AI / Foundations of Cognitive Computing
- Representation and Learning in AI
- Semantic Data Processing and Cognitive Computing
- Robotics and AI (also linked to the Center Robotics and Intelligence
(CERI)

Please spread the word - would be happy to see many applications.

If you have any questions fell free to contact me.

Frank
