If you have any doubt about this great opportunity please do not hesitate to contact me.

You will work in an international project team in close collaboration with two PhD candidates and the principal investigators. You will join an exciting and vibrant young team of experts in machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics, and become part of a big community of ~20 interdisciplinary research projects under the Active Self DFG priority programme umbrella. Thus, you will have the opportunity to take leadership responsibilities and considerably increase the research network. Furthermore, you will participate in summer schools and events organised within the framework of the priority programme. After completion of the project, you will have opportunities to continue in academia and industry.

We strongly encourage submissions from different representative minorities.
