[DMANET] Postdoc position in Applied Discrete mathematics at UMIT (Austria)

For a project funded by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF), we are
seeking for a postdoctoral researcher. This position is available for the
duration of 3 years.

The applicant must have the following essential skills:

- Strong analytical background in applied discrete mathematics like graph
theory and information theory. In particular, the desired candidate should
have
profound knowledge and research experience in quantitative graph theory.

- Knowledge in quantitative graph theory should comprise structural
analysis of graphs, general graph measures, structural complexity,
topological descriptors, and information-theoretic methods.

- Demonstrated research track and the ability to achieve research results
independently.

- Programming skills in R/python/Java/C and database knowledge preferably
in a Linux environment.

Background and proficiency in statistics, data analysis, and mathematical
chemistry is a plus.
Moreover, good communication skills are also necessary. The successful
candidate should have a PhD in mathematics, computer science, or physics.

Interested applicants should e-mail curriculum vitae, publication list, a
cover letter expressing research interests and areas, and the contact
information of three references to
Matthias Dehmer (matthias.dehmer@umit.at).

The project will take place at University for Health Sciences, Medical
Informatics and Technology (UMIT). Generally, in 2001 the University for
Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology (UMIT) was founded in
Tyrol/Austria to provide IT solutions for the health care and life
sciences. Today, academic research and teaching focus is in biomedical
informatics, health sciences and nursing science.
UMIT has an integrated view of the different disciplines contributing to
the health care sector.
