[TYPES/announce] Tenure-track openings at Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS)

[Eva Darulova]

[Although the below post focuses on systems, strong candidates from the 
programming languages and verification area will also be considered.]


Applications are invited for faculty positions at all career stages in 
computer science, with a particular emphasis on systems (broadly 
construed). We expect multiple positions to be filled in systems, but 
exceptional candidates in other areas of computer science are also 
strongly encouraged to apply.

A doctoral degree in computer science or related areas and an 
outstanding research record (commensurate for the applicant's career 
stage) are required. Successful candidates are expected to build a team 
and pursue a highly visible research agenda, both independently and in 
collaboration with other groups.

MPI-SWS is part of a network of over 80 Max Planck Institutes, Germany's 
premier basic-research organisations. MPIs have an established record of 
world-class, foundational research in the sciences, technology, and the 
humanities. The institute offers a unique environment that combines the 
best aspects of a university department and a research laboratory: 
Faculty enjoy full academic freedom, lead a team of doctoral students 
and post-docs, and have the opportunity to teach university courses; at 
the same time, they enjoy ongoing institutional funding in addition to 
third-party funds, a technical infrastructure unrivaled for an academic 
institution, as well as internationally competitive compensation.

The institute is located in the German cities of Saarbruecken and 
Kaiserslautern, in the tri-border area of Germany, France, and 
Luxembourg. We maintain an international and diverse work environment 
and seek applications from outstanding researchers worldwide. The 
working language is English; knowledge of the German language is not 
required for a successful career at the institute.

Qualified candidates should apply on our application website 
(apply.mpi-sws.org). To receive full consideration, applications should 
be received by December 1st, 2017.

The institute is committed to increasing the representation of 
minorities, women, and individuals with physical disabilities. We 
particularly encourage such individuals to apply. The initial 
tenure-track appointment is for five years; it can be extended to seven 
years based on a midterm evaluation in the fourth year. A permanent 
contract can be awarded upon a successful tenure evaluation in the sixth 
year.
