open position

[Juergen Jost]

Dear connectionists,

at the

Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig (Germany),
we have an open position for a postdoc in the field of

Mathematical Modelling of Cognitive Systems.

Applicants should be able to build upon a solid education in mathematics
or physics in order to develop and analyze formal models, for example
neural networks, that lead to new insights about information processing
and cognitive structures. The work will take place in an
open interdisciplinary group at a research institute with a strong
background in mathematics and with many and diverse
international contacts. Collaborations with researchers at the
University of Leipzig or other institutions are possible.

The position is offered for two years, with the possibility of an
extension in case of mutual interest. The beginning date is flexible.

Payment and benefits are determined by the regulations for the German
Public Service. Handicapped applicants will be given preference in case of
equal qualification. The Max Planck Society as the employer aims at
increasing the number of female scientists in fields where
underrepresented. Therefore, women are particularly encouraged to apply.

Please send your application to the address below.


Juergen Jost


P.S: We also regularly accept applications for our PhD program.
