[DMANET] 15 PhD Positions in Computer Science and Cheminformatics

Do you have strong skills in algorithms, formal methods, and
programming and would love to apply these to key questions and
challenges in research, industry, and society involving large and
complex networks?

We are looking for PhD candidates to join the TACsy (Training Alliance
for Computational Systems Chemistry) Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Joint
Doctoral Network. This network is combining computer science and
computational systems chemistry and consists of fifteen (15) highly
interlinked PhD projects. Each project has its own blend of subjects
and skill requirements. For many of the projects, a Master's degree in
Computer Science or a related area is an ideal background. For others,
some background in cheminfomatics is required. See the project
descriptions at
https://tacsy.eu/recruitment/#doctoral-candidate-descriptions and pick
your favorite(s).

The application deadline is 15 February 2023. The anticipated start
date is 1 September 2023, but flexibility in both directions is
possible. All positions are fully funded, with very competitive
salaries.

The TACsy consortium consists of world-class scientists with
competences spanning computer science, chemistry, biochemistry, and
machine learning. It encompasses 11 partners across six countries in
Europe and North America, including both academic institutions and
industrial partners. All doctoral candidates will work with two
research groups, will obtain a degree from both host institutions, and
will complete research stays of several months at either world-leading
industry partners or prestigious non-European academic partners:

University of Southern Denmark (DK)
University of Vienna (AT)
Leipzig University (DE)
Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (DE)
TU Vienna (AT)
The University of Sheffield (UK)
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)
BASF SE (DE)
Fluigent SA (FR)
Thermo Fisher Scientific GMBH (DE)
Harvard Medical School (US)

The candidates will all be part of a strong joint PhD training
programme, with a focus on career development, application writing,
communication skills, and community building through scientific summer
schools.

TACsy wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus
welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of
personal background. We are searching for a diverse group of
candidates with very different backgrounds and qualities, who inspire
and motivate each other. We want every talent to feel at home in our
organisations and to have the same career opportunities. The position
of working hours is flexible in order to accommodate individual needs
and allow for the best possible work-life balance for each candidate.
