[Benjamin Paassen]

Dear colleagues,

the newly established research group "Knowledge Representation and 
Machine Learning" at Bielefeld University, Germany is looking for PhD 
candidates with the following foci:

1. Research position for machine learning in intelligent tutoring 
systems (fixed-term contract until July 31, 2026 : 
https://uni-bielefeld.hr4you.org/job/view/2353/research-position-for-the-ai-joint-project-sail-subproject-r3-5?page_lang=en 
)
2. Research (80%) + teaching (20%) position for interactive and 
interpretable machine learning and empiric studies (fixed-term contract 
for four years: 
https://uni-bielefeld.hr4you.org/job/view/2336/research-assistant-research-group-knowledge-respresentation-and-machine-learning?page_lang=en 
)

The deadline for applications is *April 20, 2023*.

A third position on ML in intelligent Tutoring systems (fixed-term 
contract for your years, 80% research, 20% teaching) will be announced soon.

All position are intended for PhD students and are *full-time* research 
assistant positions, paid according to TVL E13 (roughly 52 000 EUR per 
year, before taxes and deducations). Equipment and office space will be 
provided for you. Also note that living is reasonably affordable in 
Bielefeld and the university only asks for very modest student fees 
(around 650 EUR per year).

Finally, note that the research group is still new and small, such that 
you would profit from close collaboration with and easy access to your 
supervisor.

Please do not hesitate to contact me in case of questions (

to your applications!
