[DMANET] job offers at MPI MIS Leipzig

The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI MiS) invites
applications for

Postdoctoral Researchers and PhD students in the area of Mathematical Software.

The MPI MiS is a research institute 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 we 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 depends on an interdisciplinary approach to mathematical and
scientific questions and we tackle these questions by means of scientific
exchange, collaboration, and cooperation with researchers from all over the
world. We hire both in the classical areas of mathematics and in fields
exploring new interactions.

Currently, we are establishing a new research group in the area of Mathematical
Software headed by the newly appointed Max Planck Fellow Michael Joswig. This
group will initially consist of the Max Planck Fellow, one postdoc and (at
least) one PhD student and will be closely collaborating with the established
groups in nonlinear algebra, algebraic geometry, tensors and optimization, and
information geometry. Applications are invited from candidates across the
mathematical sciences with a strong commitment to the development and use of
Mathematical Software for research questions.

We offer:
PhD funding for 3 years; postdoctoral position for 1-3 years.
No teaching duties, but (for postdocs) 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 November 01, 2019 (starting date flexible).
Application:
Please submit your documents using our online application form and choose
"Application MPI MiS" as option.
During the application process, you will be asked for which kind of position you
apply. Please choose "Math Software". Also, asked for your mentor, please choose
Michael Joswig.
The Max-Planck society strives for gender diversity. We welcome applications
from all backgrounds. The Max-Planck society is committed to increasing the
number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore
encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
If you have any questions please visit the institute's webpage, the webpage of
Michael Joswig, or contact us at application(at)mis.mpg.de.
