Closing date = 17-9-2023

We offer a Tenure Track Assistant Professor position with a research 
profile in Intelligent Systems within the Bernoulli Institute for 
Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the 
University of Groningen, The Netherlands.

Intelligent Systems aim to give computers and cyber-physical systems the 
abilities to perceive, analyze and learn from data, make decisions, and 
enhance human capabilities. The research area has experienced tremendous 
growth in recent years, especially due to the increase in incorporation 
of intelligent systems into nearly every aspect of our lives. The 
societal relevance of sustainability, efficiency, robustness, 
understanding and guarantees of algorithms is gaining more and more 
importance, not only in software but also in combination with 
cyber-physical systems. Relevant aspects are: the theory of machine 
learning, artificial intelligence and the mathematics of computing (ACM 
Computing Classification System, 2012 Revision).
For this position, possible research directions include (but are not 
limited to) the theory and application of novel machine learning and 
artificial intelligence methods with an emphasis on solving pressing 
open questions, such as efficiency, transparency and interpretability, 
fairness, the integration of multi-modal and complex heterogeneous data, 
causal inference, continuous machine learning, generative and dynamic 
systems. Complex problems demand an increasing amount of 
interdisciplinary and cross-domain knowledge. Therefore, backgrounds in 
information theory, probabilistic representations, causality and 
computational geometry are also welcome to apply.

As Assistant Professor with a focus on research, you will:
- set up and develop your own research line and research group
- supervise PhD students
- acquire external funding
- promote the societal relevance of your research
- teach in and contribute to the development of the degree programs of 
the School of Science and Engineering, especially courses with computing 
science content
- contribute to the organization of the faculty, for example by 
participating in working groups and committees, in the domains of 
teaching, research and management.

The position will be embedded in the Intelligent Systems research unit.
Our research areas include biologically inspired computational modeling, 
the theory of machine learning and algorithmic development, as well as 
image processing with mathematical morphology, machine learning and AI. 
National and international research collaborations span a multitude of 
application domains, including medical sciences and health care, natural 
sciences (astronomy, bioinformatics), remote sensing, computer vision, 
robotics, smart industry and engineering.
