Description

At the University of Bergen in Norway the Department of Informatics (http://www.uib.no/en/ii) has up to two vacancies for permanent positions as professor/associate professor in machine learning. If the top applicants do not qualify as full professor, they may be evaluated for an associate professor position.
The department will build a strong research group in machine learning. This announcement is a key step towards this goal. Our current research groups, in particular, the groups in bioinformatics and visualization, envision multiple opportunities for collaboration.
The Department of Informatics currently has six units that deliver education and research at a high international level in algorithms, bioinformatics, optimization, visualization, security and programming theory. All groups are successfully co-funded by research grants, currently 2 from the European Research Council (ERC). The department was rated first in Norway with respect to quality of science by the NFR in 2012. All faculty members are expected to contribute to excellence in teaching and to further increase international visibility and reputation through high quality research. The department offers state of art education at Bachelor, Master and PhD levels.

Key criteria for evaluating candidates will be scientific qualifications, the ability to attract external funding, project management, and interest and experience in teaching and supervising students.
We are seeking candidates qualifying for a full professorship and candidates qualifying for an associate professor position.
