Job Description

Requirements

• We are looking for candidates with strong expertise in deep learning methodology & applications and the ambition to lead an academic research group that will pursue world-class research in this area. The ideal candidates will have a strong publication record in methodological research (e.g.
• papers at leading machine learning conferences
• journals
• widely cited preprints) and a current or future interest in applying their expertise in medicine or biology
• in collaboration with biomedical and clinical researchers. A typical background would be a PhD and some postdoctoral research in machine learning
• computer science
• statistics
• bioinformatics or another quantitative field
• ideally combining methodologically and applied research. We are open to early-stage candidates who want to start their first independent research group
• and to established group leaders who are looking for new challenges (e.g.
• moving closer to applications in medicine or biology). Responsibilities and support will be commensurate with experience and level of seniority. The position does not require any undergraduate teaching but does provide opportunities to contribute to graduate-level teaching and curriculum development. Prior experience in teaching machine learning is therefore a plus. German-language skills are not required (graduate-level teaching is in English)
• and both the city and the university provide a highly international environment.
