Postdoctoral Research Positions.

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.

In our interdisciplinary approach we attack mathematical and scientific questions by means of scientific exchange, collaboration, and cooperation with researchers from all over the world. We hire in the classical areas of mathematics like:

• Algebra
• Calculus of Variations
• Discrete Structures
• Geometry
• Partial Differential Equations
• Mathematical Statistics
• 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
  

Successful candidates should be willing to closely collaborate with at least one of the postdoctoral mentors of the institute. A list of the postdoctoral mentors can be found on the website of the institute www.mis.mpg.de/research/mentors.html

Our offer:

• PostDoc position for 1-3 years.
• No teaching duties, but the possibility to teach an advanced course in our international graduate school.
• We provide a scientific environment where you are encouraged to explore new scientific directions and where you will find many partners with whom you can discuss a wide range of scientific ideas.
• Deadline December 01 (starting date flexible).
