The recently founded Center for Critical Computational Studies (C3S) at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany, seeks to fill the positions of at least twelve professorships. The first round of recruitment includes

Two professorships at the interface between classical network science and graph machine learning.

The calls are open discipline and open rank (W1 to W2 Tenure Track; W2 to W3 Tenure Track; W3). Ideal candidates for these professorships will possess a robust cross-disciplinary profile or interest, demonstrating not only expertise within their specific domains but also a genuine openness to collaborative, cross-disciplinary work. While the primary focus is on researchers with a strong background in network science, computer science or mathematics, proven by a matching PhD and high-ranking publications in the research areas described above, other degrees in suitable application areas are also welcome.
Envisioned research fields include but are not limited to:

– Mathematics of graph machine learning.
– Robustness and guaranteed performance, in particular dealing with noise, data bias and application specific challenges (e.g., in social/socio-ecological settings).
– Sustainability, in particular scalability, data and resource efficiency.
– Non-static graphs: dynamic, temporal, streaming settings.
– Random graphs and random processes.
– Dealing with higher-order structures such as motifs, graphlets, and simplicial complexes.

In an explorative workshop from 25 to 27 June in Frankfurt am Main, we will invite candidates to showcase their expertise and cross-disciplinary interests in a dynamic, engaging, and collaborative environment. Neither your application for the workshop nor the workshop as such are part of the formal hiring process. The workshop will pave the way for this hiring process, which will be conducted by extraordinary selection committees (“Findungskommissionen” in German) pursuant to the Rules of Recruitment (“Berufungssatzung” in German) of Goethe University.

We invite applications for the workshop until 02 April 2024 and will cover travel and accommodation for invitees.
