The newly founded Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1597 “Small Data” at the University of Freiburg, Germany, is inviting applications for
31 doctoral researcher positions (f/m/d)
starting on October 1st, 2023. The positions will be funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) until June 2027.
Our CRC is highly interdisciplinary, integrating data-driven and knowledge-driven modeling approaches from computer science, mathematics, and statistics/systems modeling, to create comprehensive solutions for tackling small data settings, primarily in biomedicine. Biomedical applications, such as in forensic medicine, gene therapy, nephrology, psychiatry, radiology, or rare diseases, will be instrumental for validating the newly developed methods. All doctoral researchers will become members of our integrated research training group SMART, for fostering interdisciplinary exchange and establishing a shared language between disciplines.
You can look forward to:
– Research that pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved in small data settings with artificial intelligence and modeling techniques
– An excellent research environment and a vibrant interdisciplinary community
– Structured supervision and courses that will prepare you for excelling within the respective disciplines, but also for crossing borders between them, including transferable skills and career development
– A welcoming and international research campus with a long tradition of interdisciplinary work in the data sciences
We are seeking for highly qualified and motivated candidates with:
– An excellent Master’s degree and academic record in computer science, mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, systems modeling, life sciences, or related fields
