PhD Students & Postdocs

PhD positions: we recruit PhD students primarily through graduate programs: the ELLIS PhD Program, the Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems (CLS), the IMPRS Intelligent Systems and the IMPRS Mechanisms of Mental Function and Dysfunction. Application deadlines are usually in November. If you would like to do a PhD with us, please apply through one of these programs and name our lab in your application. We are sometimes able to consider PhD applications at other times of the year. To apply outside these programs, send an inquiry in English to mls-jobs@inf.uni-tuebingen.de with subject “Inquiry: PhD position at MLS Tübingen”, and include a CV, transcripts and a short statement of your research interests. We are generally not able to respond to emails sent to individual lab members.

Postdocs: we are sometimes able to accept postdocs, even when we do not have positions advertised. If you are interested in working with us, please send an inquiry in English to mls-jobs@inf.uni-tuebingen.de, with subject “Inquiry: postdoc position at MLS Tübingen”. Please include a CV and a brief description of your research interests and why you would want to work with us. However, please understand that we might not be able to respond to inquiries, especially for unadvertised positions. Please do not send emails to individual lab members.

B.Sc., M.Sc. theses, student jobs.

If you are a student at the University of Tübingen in a degree program at the department for Computer Science or the Graduate Training Center Neuroscience, and are interested in working with us (e.g. for a masters or bachelor thesis, research internship, essay rotation or as an SHK/Hiwi), please send an inquiry to mls-jobs@inf.uni-tuebingen.de, with subject “Inquiry: [one of: B.Sc. thesis/M.Sc. thesis/SHK/internship/etc] at MLS Tübingen”, and written in English.

Please in your email also include:

• i) a brief statement of what research you want to do and why you want to join our group, ideally in English (refer to the Research page for a description of research areas),
• ii) current CV including a description of previous research/work experiences,
• iii) a transcript of all previous courses and grades, and
• iv) information about desired starting-dates (for planning purposes).

If you are specifically interested in or have worked with someone in the group on a project, you can indicate this as well.

To streamline our application process and to make it more predictable for everybody involved we have six application deadlines during the year (15.1., 15.3., 15.5., 15.7., 15.9., 15.11.). While you can submit your application at any time, we will only make decisions and respond to your inquiry shortly after these dates.

Currently open projects and contact persons will be listed below.

We rarely have capacity to offer internships for external students, and are typically unable to respond to inquiries.
