Two group leaders in the mathematics department at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD) are currently recruiting, with two postdoctoral positions available. Postdoctoral researchers at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD) will develop mathematics with a view to solving open problems in the life sciences. CSBD interface with nearby experimental groups, enabling interactions with biologists for maximal scientific impact. CSBD is committed to curiosity-driven fundamental research and to transferring concepts and structures from mathematics into biological sciences. Successful candidates should be willing to closely collaborate with at least one of the research groups of the institute.
CSBD is particularly seeking to hire in applied and computational areas of mathematics like:
- Applied Algebraic Geometry and Topology
- Computational Geometry / Topology
- Differential Equations, Stochastics, and Mathematical Modelling
- Mathematical Statistics and Data Science
CSBD also hire in fields exploring the interaction of mathematics and the sciences like:
- Algebraic Statistics
- Bioinformatics
- Combinatorics and Applied Algebraic Geometry
- Computer Algebra
- Data Science / Mathematics of Data
- Dynamical Systems and Differential Equations
- Information Geometry
- Higher Structures and Category Theory
- Fluid Dynamics
- Information Theory and Network Analysis
- Mathematical Biology
- Mathematical Machine Learning / Theory of Deep Learning
- Mathematical and Theoretical Physics
- Stochastic Topology
