Our profile
The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg is the first institute of the Max Planck Society dedicated to engineering sciences. Its objective is to bridge the gap between basic research and industrial applications. The newly founded Junior Research Group Population Dynamics aims at a fundamental understanding distributed systems through predictive modelling. We offer a highly interdisciplinary research environment and excellently equipped facilities.

Project: Stochastic Modeling of Cell Populations
The fundamental understanding of cell populations is still limited. In the project stochastic modeling
techniques (kinetic Monte-Carlo) shall be employed to enhance the understanding of the dynamics of virus replication in cell populations. The project will be carried out in close cooperation with the Bioprocess Engineering Group (Prof. U. Reichl) who will provide experimental data.

Your profile
A qualified candidate is interested in applied interdisciplinary research and has an academic background in a relevant scientific subject, such as engineering, physics, or computational biology. Previous experience in scientific computing, modelling of complex systems, Monte-Carlo is highly desirable.

Our Offer
The payment is on the basis of the German Public Salary System (TL-V E13 East). The initial contract has a one year term. Prolongation to a total of three years is intended. Applications from women are particularly welcome. In the case of equal suitability, ability and professional achievements, female candidates will be given preference, provided that the personal qualifications of another candidate are not more appropriate for the position. Applications from candidates with disability are welcome. The position will be filled as soon as possible.
