Institute for Informatics, followed by a two-year appointment
at Stanford University (Phase I) as a visiting assistant
professor, and then a position at the Max Planck Institute for
Informatics as a junior research group leader (Phase II).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Applicants to the program
must have completed an outstanding PhD. Exact duration of the
preparatory postdoc phase is flexible, but we typically expect
this to be about 1-2 years. Applicants who completed their PhD
in Germany may enter Phase I of the program directly.
Applicants for Phase II are expected to have completed a
postdoc stay abroad and must have demonstrated their
outstanding research potential and ability to successfully
lead a research group. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
