The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) was founded in 2011 to understand the principles of perception, action and learning in systems that successfully interact with complex environments and to use this understanding to design future artificially intelligent systems. We take a highly interdisciplinary approach that combines mathematics, computation, materials science, engineering, and biology.

The International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) is the main Ph.D. school at MPI-IS. The school brings together MPI-IS with the University of Stuttgart and the University of Tübingen to form a highly visible and unique graduate school of internationally recognized faculty, working at the leading edge of the field. This program is a key element of Baden-Württemberg’s Cyber Valley initiative to accelerate basic research and commercial development in artificial intelligence and robotics.

We are seeking an enthusiastic candidate to start as soon as possible as a foreign-language secretary in IMPRS-IS at either the Stuttgart or Tübingen site of MPI-IS.

Tasks and responsibilities

You will be supporting the IMPRS-IS coordination office in all administrative matters relating to the doctoral program such as:

• Helping organize and execute Ph.D. applicant recruitment events
• Supporting students with their university registration
• Tracking students’ academic development
• Supporting the organization of program-related workshops, retreats,  orientation days and boot camps          
• Updating the school's websites

Additional tasks will include coordination of appointments, processing of emails, correspondence, scheduling, expense reports, interfacing with the administration with regard to financial and personnel matters, and other institutional communication, as well as routinely performing independent work in both English and German.

You will be working with a diverse group of people including Ph.D. students, postdocs, faculty, and staff members. 70% of our Ph.D. scholars come from outside Germany; our working languages are English and German, and our culture is international. You will be part of a team of several colleagues who work together to strengthen the collaboration with our partner universities and support our faculty members and doctoral scholars.
