The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI MiS) invites applications for several Postdoctoral Research Positions and PhD students.
The MPI MiS is located in Leipzig, Germany and cooperates with Leipzig University. Research at the MPI MiS exploits the fruitful interaction between mathematics and the sciences. We not only apply existing mathematical methods and techniques to the sciences, but also transmit the conceptual and structural approach of mathematics into new areas of research, and, vice versa, translate scientific questions and problems into mathematical challenges.
This mission lives on an interdisciplinary approach to mathematical and scientific questions and we attack these questions by means of scientific exchange, collaboration, and cooperation with researchers from all over the world. We hire not only in the classical areas of mathematics like:
- Algebra
- Calculus of Variations
- Discrete Structures
- Geometry
- Mathematical Statistics
- Partial Differential Equations
- Stochastics
but also in fields exploring the interaction of mathematics and the sciences like:
- Algebraic Statistics
- Combinatorics and Applied Algebraic Geometry
- Complexity and Cognition
- Data Science / Mathematics of Data
- Discrete Random Geometry
- Fluid Dynamics
- Information Geometry
- Information Theory and Network Analysis
- Materials Science
- Mathematical Biology
- Mathematical Machine Learning / Theory of Deep Learning
- Mathematical and Theoretical Physics
- Stochastic Partial Differential Equations
The offer:
- PostDoc position for 1-3 years or PhD student contract for 3 years
- No teaching duties, but (PostDocs only) the possibility to teach an advanced course in our international graduate school.
- Deadline December 01 (starting date flexible).
