Startdate: 01.02.2026 | Working hours: 30 | Collective bargaining agreement: §48 VwGr. B1 Grundstufe (praedoc)
Limited until: 31.01.2030
Reference no.: 4938

Explore and teach at the University of Vienna, where more than 7,500 academics thrive on curiosity in continuous exploration and help us better understand our world. Does this sound like you? Then join our accomplished team!

Your personal sphere of influence:

The working group “Probabilistic and Interactive Machine Learning” within the research group “Data Mining and Machine Learning” at the Faculty of Computer Science, led by Prof. Tschiatschek, develops methods of machine learning and artificial intelligence, especially in the areas of reinforcement learning and deep probabilistic models.

To strengthen our team, we are seeking a university assistant to develop advanced machine learning methods for improving the simulation and optimization of distributed systems, for instance by specializing neural ODEs and their training routines.

This research will address challenges driven by the energy transition, which is transforming electrical power systems (EPS) into low-inertia, highly digitalized, power-electronics-driven architectures with increasingly interdependent component and system dynamics. Traditional simulation and optimization approaches, which separate EPS analysis and simulation by timescale into isolated zones with independent models and solvers, are no longer sufficient.

New methods are needed to tackle emerging challenges across timescales, from real-time operational control to long-term planning for optimization and expansion. This creates a demand for fast, flexible modeling frameworks, such as surrogate models to accelerate high-fidelity simulations, physics-informed neural networks, neural ODEs, and other hybrid physics–ML approaches.

The contract term for employment is 4 years. Initially limited to 1.5 years, the employment relationship is automatically extended to 4 years if the employer does not issue a non-renewal notice within the first 12 months.

Your future tasks:

	Participation in research projects / scientific studies Participation in publications / scientific articles / lecturing activities
	Participation in conferences and publication of your research results in journals and at conferences
	Conclusion of a dissertation agreement within 12 months (if not already in place)
	Participation in and independent teaching of courses in accordance with the provisions of the collective agreement
	Supervision of students
	Participation in the organization of meetings, conferences, symposia
	Participation in the administration of the institute, teaching and research


Requirements:


	Completed Master's degree (or comparable degree) in computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, information processing or a related field
	High analytical skills
	Experience in the field of interdisciplinary research
	High level of written and oral communication skills
	Very good command of written and spoken English
	IT user skills
	Cooperative, team-oriented and proactive behavior
	Excellent knowledge in the areas of human-computer interaction, explainable AI, qualitative research, planning and conducting interview studies
	Excellent academic academic achievements, especially first publications in the field of explainable AI with a focus on understanding algorithms by various stakeholders, especially at ACM FAccT, ACM AIES, International Journal of Human-Computer Studies or similar
	Strong written and oral communication skills
