Assistant Professorship in AI (tenure-track), Mons (Belgium)
Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Artificial Intelligence
The University of Mons announces the opening of a full-time tenure-track
faculty position in artificial intelligence at the assistant professor
level. The position is opened jointly in the Faculty of Science and the
Faculty of Engineering, with a starting date of September 1, 2020. In a
first stage, the person will be appointed for a period of three years,
which can be extended with two extra years. The definitive appointment
will be decided during or at the end of this period. The appointed person
will take the lead of a new research group in the Department of Computer
Science in the Faculty of Science.
Qualified candidates must have a doctorate in disciplines related to
computer science or computer engineering, and should have an outstanding
research record in the field of artificial intelligence, with a
specialisation in machine learning. The selected person will develop
research and teaching activities in this domain, will collaborate with
existing research groups in the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of
Science, and will be active in fundraising for industrial, governmental,
and european projects.
The teaching duties include the following:
* teaching activities in ?Selected topic in artificial intelligence? (18
hours of lectures + 18 hours of practical work) in the Master in Computer
Science and the Master in Computer Engineering and Management ;
* teaching activities in ?Advanced topics in artificial intelligence?
(12 hours of lectures + 12 hours of practical work) in the Master in
Computer Science and the Master in Computer Engineering and Management;
* a participation in teaching activities in ?Seminars of artificial
intelligence? and ?Challenges in artificial intelligence? in the Master in
Computer Science, the Master in Computer Engineering and Management, and
the Master in Electrical Engineering.
Some of these teaching activities can be followed by students in other
disciplines. Additional teaching duties will be assigned at the levels of
Bachelor and Master, in Computer Science, in Computer Engineering and
Management, and in Electrical Engineering, so that the appointed person
will eventually have the same teaching load as other faculty members in
the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science. The appointed
person will supervise projects, master theses, and doctoral theses in both
faculties. The appointed person will also be active in teaching activities
at the campus of the University of Mons in the city of Charleroi. The
