\"Drapeau<\/a>The Research Training Group RTG 2088 \u201eDiscovering Structure in Complex Data: Statistics meets Optimization and Inverse Problems\u201c (Speaker: Prof. Gerlind Plonka-Hoch) at the Georg-August-University G\u00f6ttingen offers positions for<\/p>\n

13 Ph.D. candidates<\/p>\n

beginning on October 1st, 2015. The salary is in accordance with the German public service salary scale (E13 TV-L) with 75% of the regular working hours (currently 29.85 hours per week) for up to three years.<\/p>\n

The research projects in this RTG focus on new mathematical concepts for the efficient reconstruction and classification of relevant structural information in data sets, without reconstructing the entire information inherent in the data. One of the guiding principles of this RTG consists of discovering and rigorously exploiting structural a priori information in order to obtain the desired information.\u00a0 Methodologically, specific emphasis will be laid upon the interplay between approaches in statistics, optimization, and inverse problems.\u00a0 Most of the proposed PhD projects arise from signal or image processing applications in biology, medicine or engineering.<\/p>\n

Candidates should fulfill the following requirements:<\/p>\n

– A very good M.Sc. degree (or equivalent) in mathematics\u00a0 or similar field;
\n– A strong background in one of the mathematical disciplines covered by the RTG (inverse problems, optimization, mathematical statistics, data analysis, probability theory, computational topology, mathematical signal and image processing);
\n– Proficiency in written and spoken English;
\n– Good programming skills are beneficial.<\/p>\n

The University of G\u00f6ttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply as they are underrepresented in this field. Disabled persons with equivalent aptitude will be favored.<\/p>\n

Detailed information on the application process, the research projects and the PhD study program are available at http:\/\/www.uni-goettingen.de\/de\/514290.html<\/a>. Candidates are required to indicate up to three preferred projects.<\/p>\n

You find the online application platform here:<\/p>\n
