Postdoc position – TOPDRIM (FET Open Project)
ISI Foundation Turin, Mathematics of Complexity group

Starting gross salary is about 28K euro per year.

Post is available for up to 24 Months.

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available within the FET Open Project TOPDRIM: “Topology driven methods for complex systems”.

The goal of this project is to provide methods driven by the topology of data for describing the dynamics of multi-level complex systems. To this end the project will develop new mathematical and computational formalism accounting for topological effects. To pursue these objectives the project brings together scientists from many diverse fields including as topology and geometry, statistical physics and information theory, computer science and biology.

The proposed methods, obtained through concerted efforts, will cover different aspects of the science of complexity ranging from foundations to simulations through modelling and analysis, and are expected to constitute the building blocks for a new generalised theory of complexity.

Informal enquiries may be made to Dr Francesco Vaccarino (francesco.vaccarino@isi.it).

Closing date: 15 April 2013.
