Call for Expressions of Interest and Nominations for a Max Planck Director (m/f/d) Biological AI
The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in Dresden, Germany, is seeking an outstanding individual to fill the position of Max Planck Director, supported by a collaboration with the Boehringer-Ingelheim Foundation (AITHYRA Institute in Vienna) and the Dresden University of Technology. Max Planck Directors enjoy full scientific freedom, exceptional long-term funding, outstanding infrastructure, and a high level of administrative support.
The successful candidate will lead novel and innovative research in the broader field of Biological Artificial Intelligence. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: AI methods that meet the complexity of living systems, high-dimensional machine learning for biology, statistical machine learning, AI-driven laboratory automation, physics- and biology-inspired machine learning. The candidate should have a strong research profile in these or related areas in artificial intelligence.
The MPI-CBG is a pioneering research institute focused on fundamental questions in cell, developmental, and systems biology. We investigate how the morphology of cells and tissues emerges from interactions between molecules and cells. The MPI-CBG shares a research faculty with the Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD), integrating expertise in biological physics, mathematics, and computer science. Our approach combines experiments with theory in a collaborative environment, emphasizing a multi-scale perspective on complexity from molecular to organismal levels.
Expressions of interest and nominations should be addressed to Stephan Grill, Managing Director, MPI-CBG, Pfotenhauer Str. 108, 01307 Dresden, Germany, at bioAI-search@mpi-cbg.de by August 15th, 2025. Documents should include a CV with publication list and a brief outline of future research plans or past scientific successes (up to one page).
The Max Planck Society promotes basic research and is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage qualified female scientists to apply or be nominated.
