The "Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health" (Hertie AI) at the Faculty of Medicine of the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen is funded by the Gemeinnützige Hertie Stiftung to develop AI algorithms, which detect diseases of the nervous system earlier and treat them better. Currently, Hertie AI is in a dynamic build-up phase. To strengthen and complement our research portfolio, we are seeking to recruit two early career research group leaders.
