Own research should connect to this topical orientation, but is welcome to bring in new aspects.

Prerequisites: university degree (MSc or a equivalent) in computer science, information systems, or some closely related field, possibly doctoral degree in a relevant topic; fluency in English and German; own experience in international research. Prior knowledge in research management are not strictly required, but some management experience and technical skills related to publishing (LaTeX, web, etc.) are an advantage.

Opportunities: We are offering an excellent environment for the development of your career, with a possibility for further specialization in either research management and/or research in the area of composite (hybrid) AI methods. As a scientific coordinator, you will develop your network with technology leaders in industry in Dresden and all of Germany, and with leading national and international academic partners. SECAI is planned to receive funding until the end of 2027 and a financing for the complete project duration is intended.
