[PlanetKR] AI Professorship at Mannheim University

[Heiner Stuckenschmidt]

Dear all,

The University of Mannheim has an Opening for a Professorship on Artificial Intelligence. The Topics of interest include modelling and analysis auf behavious as well as Game Theory and Social Choice Theory.  The professorship is non-tenure and has a maximal duration of 6 years, however, due to a funding by the federal state, it comes with resources that are comparable to that of a full professorship (2 PhD positions) which makes it an ideal place to build up the reputation needed to successfully apply for tenure positions.

Below you find a link to the German Language announcement and an English translation of the most relevant parts.

I would highly appreciate applications from young researchers in Social Choice Theory that have successfully published at major AI conferences such as IJCAI, AAAI or AAMAS.

Applications should be directed to:

Dekan der Fakultät für Wirtschaftsinformatik und Wirtschaftsmathematik,
z. Hd. Herrn Dr. Bernd Lübcke, Universität Mannheim, B 6, 26, 68131 Mannheim,

E-Mail:bewerbung at wim.uni-mannheim.de

Application Deadline: March 15th 2019

Looking Forward to your application

Heiner Stuckenschmidt (Chair of Artificial Intelligence)

English Description:

The Faculty of Business Informatics and Business Mathematics of the University
of Mannheim has an opening for a

  Junior Professorship (W1) for "Artificial Intelligence Methods"

The position is funded by the KI-BW program of the state of Baden-Württemberg
and comes with attractive resources.

The University of Mannheim is well-known for economics and social sciences
with a focus on empirical research and the use of quantitative methods. In
support of this methodological focus, the Mannheim Business Informatics has
given itself the lead theme "leveraging complex data for economy and society".
The "Data and Web Science Research Group", which is based at the Institute of
Computer Science and Business Informatics (IfI), currently consists of five
chairs and two junior professorships. The applied junior professorship is
intended to strengthen the IfI's connection to the economic and social
sciences at the university of Mannheim.

Candidates are expected to develop AI methods for modeling and analyzing
behavior. Therefore, we are looking for candidates who are for example
qualified in one of the following areas:

• Machine learning on behavioral data and time series
• Analysis of dynamics in networks
• Game Theory and Social Choice Theory
• Agent-based simulation of dynamic systems

Possible application areas include business process management, communication
behavior in social networks, detection of activity and intentions, and the
detection of cyberattacks in large companies.

Teaching experience and success in attracting third-party funds are
beneficial.

Questions About the Position can be directed to Prof. Dr. Heiner
