You will support our research and teaching activities in the field of Computer Science by establishing an independent research group focusing on research topics related to Data Science and Machine Learning, including but not limited to deep learning algorithms, predictive analytics, and big data technologies. Possible areas of interest are: Neural networks and cognitive computing Data mining and predictive modeling Statistical learning and optimization The successful candidate is expected to support teaching in Computer Science at Bachelor and Master level (for example, courses like "Machine Learning," «Deep Learning-, "Statistics and Data Analytics," "Recommender Systems"); as well as develop and implement innovative, pedagogically sound approaches to online, hybrid and in-person teaching and learning; advise students on their studies; and supervise Bachelor, Master-s and PhD theses and research projects. The university is highly supportive of junior faculty, providing both formal and informal mentoring, administrative support, as well as a flexible budget for establishing an internationally visible research group. Several opportunities exist to develop transdisciplinary research projects in collaboration with other research groups or our industrial partners.
