Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (TUK) is a research university with a focus on engineering and natural sciences, and an international profile. It is the center of the up-and-coming IT hub in the heart of the Palatinate region, which is actively expanding in the areas of future software technologies and artificial intelligence, especially in the field of machine learning. The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), founded in 1988 at TUK and represented there since then, is a leader in artificial intelligence research and application. Other close partners include the neighbouring Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), as well as innovative companies from the region, Germany and around the world. Together with the research institutes, TUK forms a tight-knit, collaborative AI campus. New professorships form a core element in the recently launched AI strategy of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, which doubles the state‘s investment in research and networking of AI. Here we invite applications for one of three professorships at TUK:
