Open positions @ Nicolaus Copernicus University, „Dynamics, Mathematical Analysis and Artificial Intelligence” Excellence Center

Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, one of 10 research universities in Poland, created a year ago an Excellence Center “Dynamics, Mathematical Analysis and Artificial Intelligence” https://damsi.umk.pl/en/

We have several open positions for young and experienced researchers from abroad.

For the list of recent publications that will help to define our interest please see here: https://damsi.umk.pl/en/research/recent-publications/

We are also opened to new topics of interest that will fit to our profile. Our group “Neuroinformatics and Artificial Intelligence” is perhaps most relevant to the Connectionist list.

Toruń is the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, this is where scientific revolution has started. It is a nice medieval city with about a quarter of million of people, basically university town. Cost of living are relatively low, see this comparison https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/comparison/berlin/torun

Grant announcements are at this page https://damsi.umk.pl/en/

For young researchers from abroad, 2nd edition

Director of Excellence Center „Dynamics, Mathematical Analysis and Artificial Intelligence” announces the contest for four 6 or 12 months grants for young researchers from abroad

Only those young researchers (maximally 5 years after PhD*) from abroad who during the last 3 years did not stay in Poland for a period longer than 6 months and whose research profile is compatible with the profile of the Center are eligible to enter the contest. Candidates representing at least one of the following areas:

•  dynamics and/or differential equations and/or analytic/algebraic number theory,
• concurrency theory and/or data mining,
• evolution of open quantum systems and/or quantum entanglement,
• neuroinformatics and/or neuroimaging and/or network neuroscience and/or AI/ML will be preferred.

Conditions of the grant: 15 000 PLN (gross) for the first month and 10 000 PLN (gross) for each following month. Expected realization of the grant commences on 1.10.2021. (The starting date can be reconsidered because of unforeseen implications of the continued COVID-19 pandemic.)

Documents including: CV, list of publications, recommendation letter(s), (optionally) list of subjects of interest during realization of the grant, should be submitted to damsi at umk.pl by 30.06.2021.

And two more senior positions:

Director of Excellence Center “Dynamics, Mathematical Analysis and Artificial Intelligence” announces the contest for two 6 or 12 months grants for experienced researchers from abroad

This contest is aimed at experienced researchers (at least 6 years after the PhD) with outstanding scientific achievements.

Only those scientists from abroad who during the last 3 years did not stay in Poland for a period longer than 6 months and whose research profile is compatible with the profile of the Center are eligible to enter the contest. Candidates representing at least one of the following areas:

•  dynamics and/or differential equations and/or analytic/algebraic number theory,
• concurrency theory and/or data mining,
• evolution of open quantum systems and/or quantum entanglement,
• neuroinformatics and/or neuroimaging and/or network neuroscience and/or AI/ML will be preferred.
