The Cancer Research Center of Marseille (CRCM) is the basic science and translational research unit of the IPC (http://www.institutpaolicalmettes.fr/en/research/). Also affiliated to INSERM, CNRS and Aix-Marseille University, the 400 researchers working at the CRCM form a strongly multi-disciplinary research environment characterized by frequent and close collaborations with IPC clinicians. IPC is a member of the UNICANCER network (http://www.unicancer.fr/en/unicancer). This project will investigate the application of Artificial Intelligence, and especially its Machine Learning (ML) component, to Precision Oncology (PO). PO is a form of medicine that uses personal information to prevent, diagnose and treat cancers.

The University of Konstanz has been successful in the German Excellence Initiative and Excellence Strategy since 2007. The position is funded in the context of the joint programme for the promotion of early career researchers by the German federal and state-governments. The professorship serves to establish a working group focusing on methods and theoretical principles of machine learning. Successful applicants are internationally recognized in at least one current field of research in this field and are open to interdisciplinary questions. The professorship is part of the cluster of excellence "Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour" at the Department of Computer and Information Science.

We are seeking an outstanding and highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to join a research program aiming at developing an intelligent crowd monitoring system for large public events. To reach these two objectives, dedicated crowd density sensors will be designed. In parallel, innovative crowd density forecasting algorithms will be developed, by using advanced Artificial Intelligence strategies. The researcher will work in close collaboration with another post-doc specialized in electrical engineering, and with the support of one main mobile operator in Belgium. The system will be tested in real-life during large public events organized in Brussels.
