The Ruhr area, one of Europe’s largest metropolitan regions,
offers attractive career opportunities for excellent scientists and
scholars from around the world. In 2021, Ruhr University Bochum, TU
Dortmund University and the University of Duisburg-Essen established
the Research Alliance Ruhr to bundle their cuttingedge international
research on the most urgent challenges facing humankind. There are
four research centers and a college. This is just the latest
chapter in our longstanding collaboration as the University
Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr), a community of 14,000 researchers
and 120,000 students in the heart of Germany.
The Research Center Trustworthy Data Science and Security is looking for a fulltime
postdoc (part-time possible) to pursue independent research projects for
two years. Payment according to public service’s agreement: TV-L E14. The open
PostDoc position shall strengthen our interdisciplinary research team in any of
the overarching research areas Psychology & Social Sciences, Artificial
Intelligence & Machine Learning, Data Science & Statistical Learning, and
Cybersecurity & Privacy and their interfaces.

- Automatic Machine Learning
- Hyperparameter Optimization
- Representation Learning
- Anomaly Detection
- Uncertainty Quantification
- Counterfactual Explanations
- Robustness Guarantees for Machine Learning
In particular, we encourage applications in Machine Learning for Time Series,
Data Streams, Graphs, or similar complex data sets. In case you stem more from a
theoretical research area, your research in Machine Learning is linked with game
theory, information theory, statistical tests, as well as multi-criteria optimization.
In addition, interest in chemistryis beneficial, as some applications in this area
are envisioned.
YOUR QUALIFICATIONS
- PhD in computer science, statistics, math, or related fields
- High degree of creativity, commitment, analytical competence and interdisciplinary teamwork
