W3‐Professorship for Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems
W3‐Professorship for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
The newly founded Digital Engineering Faculty intends to significantly expand its area of artificial intelligence and to develop a center of excellence in research and teaching on an international scale.
We are looking for candidates with a strong, internationally recognized research profile and a clear commitment to teaching. The new professor will actively participate in the degree programs of the Digital Engineering Faculty as well as in the work of the faculty's Graduate School.
The professorship focusing on intelligent systems will emphasize the design and engineering of scalable intelligent systems, such as chatbots, expert systems, language processing systems, image and video recognitions systems, and multi‐agent systems.
The professorship focusing on machine learning will concentrate on the design, development and research into ML algorithms and deep learning technologies, and experimentation and testing of various application areas. These include speech and multimodal recognition, such as in dialogue systems or computer vision.
Both professorships focus on system‐oriented and method‐oriented research that is closely related to complex IT systems and applications in science, industry and society. Qualified candidates for both professorships have exceptional competence in research/development and outstanding practical experience. Successful experience in working with external partners and experience in pursuing and securing research projects with third parties are expected. In addition to the ability to successfully collaborate with industry and business, the applicants evidence effective teaching experience and the prerequisites as members of the teaching staff of the bachelor's and master's programs of the faculty.
