[TYPES/announce] Tenure-Track Faculty Positions at the MPIs for Informatics, Software Systems, and Security & Privacy

[Maria Christakis]

The Max Planck Institutes for Informatics (Saarbruecken), Software Systems
(Saarbruecken and Kaiserslautern), and Security and Privacy (Bochum) invite
applications for tenure-track faculty in all areas of computer science.
Pending final approval, we expect to fill several positions.

A doctoral degree in computer science or related areas and an outstanding
research record 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.

The institutes are part of a network of over 80 Max Planck Institutes,
Germany's premier basic-research organizations. MPIs have an established
record of world-class, foundational research in the sciences, technology,
and the humanities. The institutes offer 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.

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 institutes.

Qualified candidates should apply on our application website
(http://apply.cis.mpg.de/). To receive full consideration, applications
should be received by December 15th, 2019.

The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the number of women in those areas
where they are underrepresented. Women are therefore explicitly encouraged
to apply. The Max Planck Society is also committed to increasing the number
of employees with severe disabilities in its workforce. Applications from
persons with severe disabilities are expressly desired.

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.
