*Max Planck Postdoctoral Fellowship for Excellent Women in Computer Science*
*
Every second year the Max Planck Institute for Informatics awards the Lise
Meitner Award Fellowship. This postdoctoral grant supports excellent female
computer scientists in their careers, giving them the opportunity to develop
their scientific ideas without exertion of influence. It consists of a
two-year tax-free research fellowship and business expenses.
Fellows will be chosen based on the strength of their academic background and
research credentials. Applications should include a CV, cover letter,
publication list, short research plan (one page is enough), and two
references. This grant is according to the fellowship rules of the Max Planck
Society; it usually amounts to 3,000 Euro/month and is completed by
compensation for business expenses of 10,000 Euro/year. The deadline for the
application is 01.12.2017.

About the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
The Max Planck Society is Germany's largest society for fundamental research
with more than 30 Nobel Prize winners, including Prof. Christiane
Nüsslein-Volhard - one of the few female Nobel Laureates. The research
institutes of the Max Planck Society are nationally and internationally
renowned as Centers of Excellence in foundational research.
The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for lnformatics is devoted to cutting-edge
research in computer science and technology with a focus on algorithms and
their applications in a broad sense. Its research ranges from fundamental
topics (algorithms and complexity, automation of logic) to a variety of
application domains (computer graphics and vision, geometric computation,
program verification, databases and information systems, and computational
biology). The MPI for lnformatics is located on the campus of Saarland
University in Saarbrücken, Germany.
The Saarland University campus is also home to the Max Planck Institute for
Software Systems, the German Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence,
the Center for IT-Security, Privacy, and Accountabilty (CISPA), the Cluster of
Excellence on Multimodal Computing and Interaction, the Center for
Bioinformatics, and the Graduate School of Computer Science. These
institutions cooperate closely and comprise a total of more than 300
researchers in computer science. The institute collaborates with several of
the major research institutions in Europe and the United States and has high
international visibility.
The MPI for informatics strives to provide a family-friendly work environment,
with day care opportunities for smaller children and other means of support
for working mothers.
