Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (OVGU) is a research-strong, regionally networked and internationally oriented profile university focusing on engineering and natural sciences as well as economics, human sciences and medicine. 13,000 students from Germany and abroad as well as approx. 3,000 employees provide excellent study and working conditions. The Chair of Mechatronics researches innovative system technologies and algorithms of artificial intelligence for novel robot and drone systems. In order to further build up the chair in these areas, a position as a research group leader*in (m/w/d) Robotics & Intelligent Systems is to be occupied. This place is your next step in development if you are interested in supporting a dynamically growing working group in coordination with the chair management, developing it further and taking over chair organizational tasks.
