Max Planck Institute for Informatics
The Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication (MPC-VCC) was
established as a joint program by the Max Planck Society for the Advancement
of Science (MPG) and Stanford University in 2003 (http://www.mpc-vcc.org).
With this call the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication
(MPC-VCC) invites applications for its
Junior Research Group Program
Our Junior Research Group program offers young scientists in information
technology the opportunity to develop their own research program addressing
important problems in areas such as
* image communication
* computer graphics
* geometric computing
* imaging systems
* computer vision
* human machine interface
* distributed multimedia architectures
* multimedia networking
* visual media security.
The center includes an outstanding group of faculty members at Stanfords
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Departments, the Max Planck
Institute for Informatics, and Saarland University.
The program begins with a preparatory 1-2 year postdoc phase (Phase P)
at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, followed by a two-year
appointment at Stanford University (Phase I) as a visiting assistant
professor, and then a position at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
as a junior research group leader (Phase II). However, the program can be
entered flexibly at each phase, commensurate with the experience of the
applicant.
Applicants to the program must have completed an outstanding PhD.
Exact duration of the preparatory postdoc phase is flexible, but we
typically expect this to be about 1-2 years. Applicants who completed their
PhD in Germany may enter Phase I of the program directly. Applicants for
Phase II are expected to have completed a postdoc stay abroad and must have
demonstrated their outstanding research potential and ability to
successfully lead a research group.
Reviewing of applications will commence on 01 Jan 2019. The final
deadline is 31 Jan 2019. Applicants should submit their CV, copies of their
school and university reports, list of publications, reprints of five
selected publications, names of 3-5 references, a brief description of their
previous research and a detailed description of the proposed research
project (including possible opportunities for collaboration with existing
research groups at Saarbrücken and Stanford) to:

The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer, committed to
increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce, and
therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in
those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly
encourages women to apply.
