The employee will have teaching duties (4 times 45 minutes teaching per week during the semester [=4 LVS]), which may, for instance, include exercises, seminars, and student thesis supervision. Additionally, the employee is highly encouraged to conduct a Ph.D. covering fundamental research in natural language processing and artificial intelligence with a focus on one or multiple of the following topics:

- conversational Artificial Intelligence
- computational Argumentation
- ethical Artificial Intelligence (Fairness, Sustainability, Inclusion, etc.)
- knowledge Integration
- multimodal AI
