Tenure track hire in Computational Neuroscience

The Institute of Robotics and Cognitive Systems at the University of Lübeck has a vacancy for an Assistant Professorship (Juniorprofessur) Tenure Track W2 for Robotics for an initial period of three years with an option to extend for a further three years. The future holder of the position should represent the field of robotics in research and teaching. Furthermore, the holder of the professorship shall establish their own working group at the Institute of Robotics and Cognitive Systems. The future holder of the position should have a very good doctorate and demonstrable scientific experience in one or more of the following research areas: Modelling, simulation, and control of robots, Robot kinematics and dynamics, Robot sensor technology, e.g., force and moment sensor technology, Robotic systems, e.g., telerobotic systems, humanoid robots, etc., Soft robotics and continuum robotics, AI and machine learning methods in robotics, Human-robot collaboration and safe autonomous robot systems, AR/VR in robotics, Applications of AI and robotics in medicine. The range of tasks also includes the acquisition of third-party funds and the assumption of project management. The applicant is expected to be scientifically involved in the research focus areas of the institute and the profile areas of the university, especially in the context of projects acquired by the institute itself (public funding, industrial cooperations, etc.). The position holder is expected to be willing to cooperate with the “Lübeck Innovation Hub for Robotic Surgery” (LIROS), the 'Center for Doctoral Studies Lübeck' and the 'Open Lab for Robotics and Imaging in Industry and Medicine' (OLRIM). In teaching, participation in the degree programme 'Robotics and Autonomous Systems' (German-language Bachelor’s, English-language Master’s) as well as the other degree programmes of the university’s STEM sections is expected.

The School of Psychological Science, Birkbeck University of London is seeking 2 open-ended Lecturers (tenure track Assistant Professors) with a focus on computational modelling and psychological processes such as Cognitive Science or Computational Cognitive Neuroscience. The successful candidates will have an emerging research track record in all areas of cognitive neuroscience, particularly with practical experience of neuroimaging and fMRI, and/or cognitive science, including experimental cognitive psychology and computational modelling. Their research interests should align with the department's existing research themes: Perception, Attention, Action and Emotion; Cognitive Computational Modelling; Brain and Cognitive Development; and Health and Lived Experience.

ELLIS Institute Finland is recruiting Principal Investigators (PIs) to lead research teams in AI, machine learning (ML) and related fields. This is a unique opportunity for researchers at all career stages to do work with global impact, in a research environment that is one of the best in the world today for AI and ML. The selected PIs will become Fellows or Scholars of the ELLIS Society, a distinction of high-caliber scientists advancing the fields of AI and ML. PIs in the ELLIS Institute will enjoy great academic freedom and will have access to considerable funding for personnel, equipment, and running costs. The positions are faculty roles on the tenure track at participating Finnish universities.
