Probabilistic models and probabilistic machine learningmethods are key building blocksof modern AI and constitute a fundamental basis for the application of AI in the humanities, natural sciences, environmental sciences, law, social sciences, and economics. Suitable candidates will, for example, address topics such as * the development and analysis of probabilistic models (e.g. Bayesianmodels, latent variablemodels), * efficient inference methods(e.g. sampling methods), * uncertainty quantification, calibration, and probabilistic forecasting, as well as the interdisciplinary application of these methods. The professorship is embedded in the IDea_Lab of the University of Graz, which is the recently established Interdisciplinary Digital Lab for foundational and application-driven research in machine learning, data science and digital transformation. The professorship maintains close ties to statistics, optimisation, data science, applied mathematics, as well as the various specialised fields of the university. The position is explicitly intended to strengthen the methodological expertise of the IDea_Lab, to promote interdisciplinary research in the field of probabilistic machine learning across the entire University of Graz, and to be responsible for this area in teaching. The appointed professor is expected to have a strong intrinsic interest in building robust interdisciplinary research networks withinthe University of Graz, startingfrom the inter-faculty IDea_Lab, and in consolidating the field - together with the professorships already based at the IDea_Lab and research partners in the individual faculties and departments - through novel interdisciplinary concepts and research approaches., * List of publications, numbered, with a complete bibliographic information, sorted by + monographs + (co-)edited volumes + journal articles + other information * Teaching statement including presentation of teaching to date * List of previous research projects and collaborations * Description of future research intentions * List of your five most important publications Please submit your application documents in English.
