offers a

*Position as PostDoc (AreaHead) in Machine Learning for Ubiquitous
Computing*

Telecooperation Lab (TK) is one of the largest computer science research
groups at TU Darmstadt. We investigate challenges of ubiquitous
computing and smart spaces, whereby different groups (research areas)
focus on different aspects, such as: networks and distributed systems
support, HCI/CSCW, security and privacy, *machine learning for
ubiquitous computing*. The divers and complementary foci of our research
areas permits us to pursue integrated,
holistic visions of future IT based systems.

We seek a new area head with a solid background in machine learning and
its application to issues in ubiquitous computing. Several doctoral
researchers work in this area, which is supposed to grow further.
Current projects are related to data from conventional and “soft”
sensors that represent environmental, technical, software related, and
human phenomena.

The advertised PostDoc (AreaHead) position offers unique possibilities
to attain excellent qualifications for top academic and industrial
research positions – in fact, former TK PostDocs hold high ranked
positions worldwide. You will be leading a group of researchers and are
expected to develop and distinctively sharpen the research theme of your
area. In accordance with the head of TK, you will take on personnel
responsibility for the doctoral researchers and promote their and your
high quality international publications. You are expected to help
acquire and manage third-party funded projects. Within the framework of
TK’s role in the BSc/MSc curricula, you will have considerable freedom
w.r.t. the amount and specifics of your involvement in teaching. Novel
and innovative qualification schemes introduced by our department offer
medium-term options to obtain increased independence and academic rank.

You should fulfill the following requirements: a PhD degree and
excellent research record related to pertinent topics, verifiable
capabilities in research project supervision, experience in applications
for funds, and outstanding social skills. Fluent command of English is
indispensable, at least basic command of German is very welcome.

The Technische Universität Darmstadt intends to increase the number of
female faculty members and encourages female candidates to apply. In
case of equal qualifications applicants with a degree of disability of
at least 50 or equal will be given preference. Wages and salaries are
according to the collective agreements on salary scales, which apply to
the Technische Universität Darmstadt (TV-TU Darmstadt). Part-time
employment is generally possible.

Applications should be sent to Prof. Mühlhäuser in electronic form
(eMail to max(at)informatik.tu-darmstadt.de).
