We are looking for candidates with strong expertise in deep learning methodology and applications, and 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/or postdoctoral research in machine learning, computer science, statistics, bioinformatics, or another quantitative field, ideally combining methodologically and applied research. This call focuses on candidates who want to start their first independent research group, typically within the age bracket of ERC Starting grant eligibility (up to seven years post PhD, with extensions for childcare and medical leave). The position does not require any undergraduate teaching but does provide opportunities for graduate-level teaching and curriculum development.
Please send your application by e-mail to faculty-recruiting5@meduniwien.ac.at. The application should include: cover letter; curriculum vitae; list of publication; annotated list of five key publications (with download links) with a brief statement about their relevance; summary of research and teaching activities (~3-5 pages); concept of future research plans (~1-3 pages); and contact details of at least three references – if possible combined into a single PDF document attached to the e-mail. Please see tinyurl.com/yj4x27tr for additional details.
All applications received by 31 December 2023 will be considered. Start dates are very flexible. Please address questions about the application to Dalibor Mikic / Ana Mendes (sec-ai@meduniwien.ac.at) and scientific questions to Christoph Bock (christoph.bock@meduniwien.ac.at).
