[visionlist] Tenure Track Professorship (W1) "Computational Cognitive Science" - University of Stuttgart, Germany

[Andreas Bulling]

The Stuttgart Centre for Simulation Science at the University of 
Stuttgart, Germany, invites applications for a Tenure Track 
Professorship (W1) "Computational Cognitive Science".

The new professor is expected to cover the field of Computational 
Cognitive Science both in research and teaching, specifically connecting 
modern data-driven and computational methods for the modeling and 
simulation of cognitive processes and their applications to 
human-computer interaction. The position is one of four new 
professorships that are established at the University of Stuttgart 
through the DFG Cluster of Excellence EXC 2075 "Data-driven Simulation 
Science (SimTech)". The professor will be jointly appointed at the 
Stuttgart Center of Simulation Science and the Department of Computer 
Science and Electrical Engineering and linked closely to the 
Human-Computer Interaction and Cognitive Systems group.

We are looking for an ambitious scientist with international standing 
who will advance the field of Computational Cognitive Science and its 
respective foundations in Cognitive Science and Computer Science in 
close interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers from science and 
engineering as well as from the humanities and the social sciences.  
Applicants should have made distinguished contributions in at least one 
of these research areas:
• Cognitive modeling and simulation, especially of visual perception
• Data-driven and mathematical / statistical modeling of human behavior
• Behavioral experiments and evaluation methods
• Decision making, human learning and reasoning
• Applications of cognitive models and simulations, e.g. in human-robot 
interaction, computer vision or immersive environments

We encourage excellent young scientists in related areas of (cognitive) 
neuroscience or psychology, machine learning or artificial intelligence 
or human-computer interaction to apply.

We expect contributions to teaching in the Bachelor and Master programs 
of the Stuttgart Center of Simulation Science and of the Department of 
Computer Science as well as acquisition of third-party funding and 
active involvement in further collaborative research projects of the 
University.

The professorship is funded in the context of the joint program for the 
promotion of early career researchers by the German federal and state 
governments. The position is a tenure track position leading to an 
appointment as a W3 professor in case of positive evaluation. The 
requirements for employment as listed in §51 Baden-Württemberg 
University Law apply. For more information on the criteria of evaluation
