It's great to see our partnership with AIMS, the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, grow! Last week, a joint symposium took place in Kigali, Rwanda, including the recruitment of the AIMS-Tübingen Junior Research Chair in #MachineLearning for Science.

Reminder: This call for our W3-Professorship in Machine Learning for Physics is still open until February 15, 2025. 👇

Tübingen AI Research Building, where the Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning" is based.

📢We’re hiring: W3-Professorship in Machine Learning in Physics @unituebingen.bsky.social! What we’re looking for: Established research profile in a core area of #physics (condensedmatter, quantum or theoretical particle physics), strong track record in research questions related to #ML and/or #AI.

Season’s greetings from all of us at the Tübingen AI Center ❄️

We’d like to thank you - so much 🥰: our researchers, partners, and the community for your trust, your collaborative spirit and for many thoughtful exchanges and fun events throughout the year.

Please share @philipp.hertie.ai @ulrikeluxburg.bsky.social @jakhmack.bsky.social @mackelab.bsky.social @mariokrenn.bsky.social @tuebingen-ai.bsky.social

Aim of the new professorship: Bridge ongoing ML research activities with research at one of the Department of Physics' research centers: BioNanoPhysics Center, Center for Quantum Science, or Kepler Center. Deadline: 15 February 2026. More info: uni-tuebingen.de/en/128980#c2...

AI tool for brain simulations links cellular detail to cognitive functions — MACHINE LEARNING for science For decades, brain simulations have either been largely simplified, or they could not perform cognitive tasks. A new AI tool opens possibilities to build brain simulations that can achieve both.
