max Planck institute for Software
Systems (mPi-SWS)
Tenure-track openings

Applications are invited for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions in all areas related to the study, design, and engineering of software systems. These areas include, but are not limited to, data and information management, programming systems, software verification, parallel, distributed and networked systems, and embedded systems, as well as cross-cutting areas like security, machine learning, usability, and social aspects of software systems. A doctoral degree in computer science or related areas and an outstanding research record are required. Successful candidates are expected to build a team and pursue a highly visible research agenda, both independently and in collaboration with other groups. Senior candidates must have demonstrated leadership abilities and recognized international stature.

MPI-SWS, founded in 2005, is part of a network of eighty Max Planck Institutes, Germany’s premier basic research facilities. MPIs have an established record of world-class, foundational research in the fields of medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, technology and humanities. Since 1948, MPI researchers have won 17 Nobel prizes. MPI-SWS aspires to meet the highest standards of excellence and international recognition with its research in software systems.

To this end, the institute offers a unique envi-
ronment that combines the best aspects of a uni-
versity department and a research laboratory:
a) Faculty receive generous base funding to
build and lead a team of graduate students
and post-docs. They have full academic
freedom and publish their research results
freely.
b) Faculty supervise doctoral theses, and have
the opportunity to teach graduate and un-
dergraduate courses.
c) Faculty are provided with outstanding tech-
nical and administrative support facilities
as well as internationally competitive com-
pensation packages.

MPI-SWS currently has 8 tenured and tenure-
track faculty, and is funded to support 17 faculty
and about 100 doctoral and post-doctoral posi-
tions. Additional growth through outside funding
is possible. We maintain an open, international
and diverse work environment and seek applica-
tions from outstanding researchers regardless
of national origin or citizenship. The working
language is English; knowledge of the German
language is not required for a successful career at
the institute.
