[Ieee_vis_open_positions] Tenure-Track Assistant Professorship in Explainable AI at Ulm University

[Timo Ropinski]

Dear all,

We’re excited to announce a new *tenure-track Assistant Professorship (with
Tenure Track to Full Professor (W3))* in *Explainable Artificial
Intelligence (XAI)* at *Ulm University*, and we would greatly appreciate
your help in spreading the word!

This position focuses on foundational and methodological research in XAI.
Selected research topics of interest include:

   -

   Explainability of black-box models (e.g., neural networks)
   -

   Interpretability of generative AI models
   -

   Knowledge integration and extraction in AI systems

We’re looking for candidates with a strong international research profile,
ideally with links to medical AI, as the position connects closely to the
DFG-funded research training group *KEMAI – Knowledge Infusion and
Extraction for Explainable Medical AI* (kemai.uni-ulm.de).

The position offers a rich research environment both within the university
(e.g., profile area *From Data to Knowledge*) and in collaboration with
external institutions such as the DLR Institute for Secure AI and the
Science Park Ulm.

In teaching, the professorship will support our bachelor's and master's
programs in Computer Science, with a particular focus on *Artificial
Intelligence* and *Cognitive Systems*.

This is a *W1 tenure-track position*, typically for six years, with the
opportunity for promotion to a tenured *W3 full professorship* following a
successful evaluation.

*Application deadline:* April 23, 2025
*Application portal & full details: *

We strongly encourage applications from qualified female scientists and
other underrepresented groups.

Please feel free to forward this announcement to potential candidates or
your networks. And if you know of any outstanding researchers working in
this space, we would be grateful for a personal referral!

Best regards,
   Timo Ropinski.
