Sounds like an interesting opportunity (especially since I'm only living 15 minutes away from the University of Leipzig) but I already have a job, so I'm out.

But any idea what they are planning to do?

For once Henk is right in my opinion.

I looked through some current and past projects of Dr. Lehmann. If they are any indication then this project has something to do with machine learning, reinforcing Henk's point.

I already have a job unfortunately (or fortunately, I suppose)!

Well, that depends on how flexible your employer is.
