Applications are being invited for outstanding early-career scientists (2-8 years post PhD), interested in building up their independent research group in the field of "Information and Communication Technology" at the TU Wien. This group shall strive to improve the understanding of substantial scientific research questions in the field of ICT with potential medium term economic or social benefits.

The aim of this announcement is to look for and attract exceptional candidates, who, once selected, will then go on to submit an application in tandem together with an experienced scientist at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, TU Wien, to the call for young investigators by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF): https://wwtf.at/upload/VRG18_web.pdf.
In the case of a successful funding decision by the WWTF, the research group will be financed for 6 – 8 years, with up to 1.6 million EUR being provided by the WWTF, and an additional contribution from TU Wien itself. The successful candidate will be offered a tenure-track position at the TU Wien.

Requirements:

Applicants should have exceptional promise, or a proven record of research achievement, within the field of Information and Communication Technology. They should also provide strong evidence of their potential to make a significant contribution to substantial state-of-the-art scientific research questions in this particular research field. Female applicants are explicitly encouraged to apply.
Particular emphasis of the successful Young Investigator at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning will be on interdisciplinary and computational methods in the context or urban sustainability, using quantitative analysis, modeling, and/or data visualization of, for example:
- Urban transport infrastructure using network science methods
- Human mobility in cities, in particular multimodal mobility
- Car or bicycle sharing systems 
- Volunteered geographic information

Application procedure:

Interested candidates should contact their possible host scientists at the TU Wien. Applications, including a CV and a short statement of the intended research project, should be sent to the Office of the Dean (email to: penthor@rpl-arch.tuwien.ac.at no later than 28th June 2018.)
