The Department of Computer Science at Aalto University (Helsinki,
Finland) invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured professor in
Artificial Intelligence. The university is presently investing strongly
in fundamental AI research and the Finnish state is undertaking large
applied AI initiatives, and thus we aspire to recruit a future leader in
the area, with an inspiring vision for its development.
The Department of Computer Science at Aalto (http://cs.aalto.fi/) is
among Europe's top-20 CS departments, and is particularly strong in
areas represented in the present call. The department hosts a national
Centre of Excellence on Computational Inference Research
(http://research.cs.aalto.fi/coin/), and the current faculty's strength
is apparent in e.g. the high volume of highly competitive funding from
the Academy of Finland (equivalent to the National Science Foundation)
and the European Research Council. The department attracts significant
numbers of high-achieving international students into its MSc and PhD
programmes, and as the foremost CS educator in Finland, it is home to
the majority of the best Finnish CS students. In total, the department
employs 44 professors with diverse interests, forming a fertile
environment for cross-disciplinary collaborations. On a larger scale, as
a technology-friendly, yet small country, Finland offers ample
opportunities for low-overhead collaboration with industrial and
government partners as well. A shared appointment with the Helsinki
Institute for Information Technology HIIT (http://hiit.fi/), a joint
research centre with the University of Helsinki, can be negotiated.
The review of the new position will begin on Jan 25, 2018 and the
position will remain open until filled. For further information, please
