Most of these topics tie in with one active and two upcoming EU-FP7-ICT projects in Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics, offering a vibrant and internationally well-connected research environment.
Postdoctoral researchers are expected to assume leadership roles. In addition, all positions involve minor teaching requirements.
Salaries are internationally competitive and commensurate with qualification and experience.
Applicants for a postdoctoral position should have earned, or be about to earn, a doctoral degree in a relevant area, possess a strong publication record commensurate with experience, and have demonstrated strengths in at least one of the following areas:

The history of the University of Innsbruck, currently ranked the best Austrian university by Times Higher Education, dates back to 1669. It offers a complete set of academic curricula and currently counts 25000 students. Founded in 2001, the Department of Computer Science is currently expanding and is highly active in research.
Innsbruck is home to about 30000 students who imprint a distinctive, international student atmosphere upon this beautiful city of 120000. Beautifully located in the Tyrolean Alps, on the Inn river and surrounded by peaks of up to 2718m, Innsbruck offers outstanding recreational and cultural value all around the year.
Interested applicants should send a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, scanned transcripts and diplomas, and contact information of at least two references as a single PDF file.
Applications will be considered as they are received, until all positions are filled.
