Lise Meitner Award Fellowship
(Max Planck Postdoctoral Fellowship for Excellent Women in CS)
Max Planck Institute for Informatics
Saarbruecken, Germany

Application deadline: November 15th 2013
*****************************************************************

The Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF) is inviting
applications for the 2014 Lise Meitner Award. The Lise Meitner Award is
awarded once every two years by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
to attract and support excellent female postdoctoral scientists in their
careers. Besides a competitive two-year research fellowship, Lise Meitner
fellows receive a generous budget for travel and other work-related
expenses.

The Max Planck Society (MPG) is Germany's largest society for fundamental
research with more than 30 Nobel Prize winners, including Prof. Christiane
Nuesslein-Volhard - one of the few female Nobel Laureates. The research
institutes of the Max Planck Society have a national and international
reputation as Centers of Excellence for foundational research. The Max
Planck Institute for Informatics is devoted to cutting-edge research in
computer science and technology with a focus on algorithms and their
applications in a broad sense. The research ranges from foundations
(algorithms and complexity, automation of logic) to a variety of
application domains (computer graphics and vision, geometric computation,
program verification, database systems and internet search, and
computational biology).

The MPI for Informatics is located on the campus of the Saarland
University in Saarbruecken, Germany. The campus of the Saarland University
is also home to the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, the German
Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the Cluster of Excellence
on Multimodal Computing and Interaction, the Center for Bioinformatics,
and the Graduate School of Computer Science. These institutions cooperate
closely and comprise a total of more than 300 researchers in computer
science. The institute collaborates with several of the major research
institutions in Europe and the U.S. and has high international visibility.
The MPI for Informatics strives to provide a family-friendly work
environment with options for day care of smaller children and other means
of support for working mothers.

Fellows will be chosen based on the strength of their academic background
and research credentials. Applications should include a resume, cover
letter, publication list, short research plan (one page is enough), and
two references.
