Project title
DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center SFB 1294 Data Assimilation – The Seamless Integration of Data and Models
Project description
The DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center SFB 1294 “Data Assimilation - The Seamless Integration of Data and Models”, hosted at the University of Potsdam jointly with its partner institutions HU Berlin, TU Berlin, WIAS Berlin and GFZ Potsdam, invites applications for 12 Doctoral and 2 Postdoctoral Positions in the field of data assimilation (including statistical inverse problems, dynamical systems, applied and computational mathematics, and machine learning) and its application to biophysics, neurosciences, geosciences, cognative science and pharmacology. *Our vision*. The assimilation of time-dependent data sets into complex evolution models leads to unique mathematical and computational challenges. These challenges which provide the central theme of the SFB 1294. Data assimilation constitutes a rapidly expanding field at the confluence of several established research areas in mathematics, statistics and machine learning, on the one hand and applications from the natural sciences and other disciplines. Our vision is to establish a rigorous mathematical underpinning of data assimilation, to develop principled computational methodologies, and to apply these methodologies to newly emerging application fields in the geosciences, neurosciences, pharmacology and biophysics. The SFB 1294 provides an excellent research infrastructure including a large interdisciplinary network of researchers and its own graduate school, as well as funding opportunities for conference visits, summer schools, and hosting international experts etc. The website https://www.sfb1294.de provides more information on the specific projects. Application details are given in https://www.sfb1294.de/open-positions Application deadline is 11th June 2021 with an anticipated start of projects on 1st September 2021. Interviews will take place between 25th June and 2nd July.
