*PhD position for research in the field of mathematic network analysis*

(Prof. Jost, for more information see
https://www.mis.mpg.de/jjost/research.html)
We offer a PhD position (f/m/d) in the field of mathematical network
analysis. It is
embedded in the research project "DISCRETE CURVATURES FOR NETWORKS:
COMPARISON AND
APPLICATIONS" funded by the German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific
Research and Development
(G.I.F.). In this project, new geometric methods for the analysis of
networks will be developed and
applied to empirical network data.
The payment is comparable to the German scale TVöD E13 (65 %). The position
is limited to three years and must start
no later than 01.07.2021.
The institute encourages applications from women and minorities.
Task: Research in the field of mathematical network analysis
Requirements:
-- Successfully completed studies in computer science, mathematics, physics
or comparable
qualification (Master)
-- Very good knowledge in a relevant mathematical area, such as geometry
and topology, graph
theory or theory of dynamical systems
-- Very good programming skills in a high-level language (C++, Python, or
similar)
-- Very good analytical and conceptual skills
-- Interest in independent scientific work
-- Interest in working in a multidisciplinary team of mathematicians,
physicists and computer
scientists
-- High level of commitment, personal responsibility, ability to work in a
team, flexibility
-- Very good English language skills, both written and spoken
We offer
-- Possibility to write  a PhD thesis in mathematics or computer science
(depending on the specific topic
and methodology)
-- The opportunity to help shaping the future of new technologies and
analytical methods in
various application areas in a dynamic research environment
-- ntegration into a highly motivated and efficient research group at the
Max Planck Institute
for Mathematics in the Sciences
-- Leipzig is an extremely attractive, exciting city with many lakes and
water-rich surroundings,
as well as a very lively and alternative cultural scene

Your application should include-- CV
-- transcript of examination results
-- a copy of the master thesis (if applicable) and
-- names and contact data of two or more academic teachers willing to write
a letter of
recommendation
