The Data Science Chair at JMU Würzburg [1] as a member of the Center for AI and 
Data Science (CAIDAS) offers two positions for doctoral researchers (m/w/d) in 
the area of machine learning.

Both positions are bound to a project, with an initial duration of two years 
with the possibility of further extension. Payment is at the level of E13 
according to the German federal wage agreement scheme (TV-L). Candidates are 
expected to have a strong background in computer science and mathematics, with 
a specialisation in machine learning and interest in the topic of one of the 
projects.

The first project is focused on the development and application of methods to 
enrich live chats of typical stream platforms like Twitch.tv with links to 
relevant information: you will work with industry partners to analyse the 
current topics of discussions in live chats and provide links to the partners' 
websites with information about these topics. This will be done, for example, 
by developing metric learning methods to find accurate representations of the 
available content and matching them with the current topics as well as the 
users' interests.

The second project, HydrAS [2] has a stronger focus on theoretical research. 
Here, you have the opportunity to work on our HypTrails method, which can be 
used to compare different hypotheses about user behaviour by means of bayesian 
statistics. HydrAS aims to extend this method with (semi-)automatic generation 
and testing of hypotheses as well as include more powerful statistical models 
like continuous time Markov chain models.

Please send your application (letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, academic 
records) at your earliest convenience, but no later than July 15th, 2022, to 
Prof. Dr. Andreas Hotho ([email protected]). You are welcome to 
contact us on the same address for additional details.
