New Research School at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany

        "Data Science and Engineering"

See https://hpi.de/en/research/research-schools

The Hasso Plattner Institute at the University of Potsdam is one of 
Germany's top-ranked computer science institutes, including its research 
school on service-oriented systems engineering. We are happy to now 
announce a new research school in the area of data science and data 
engineering. Annually, we seek talented young researchers and offer

        10  Ph.D. and Postdoc Scholarships

The increasing abundance of data in science and in industry creates many 
challenges and opportunities. Data science has grown to be a 
foundational discipline in information technology, allowing new insights 
from data and creating ever more intelligent applications. 
Simultaneously, it is becoming increasingly difficult to collect, clean 
and deliver the vast amounts of data and apply and maintain complex data 
science processes. Targeting these challenges, the discipline of data 
engineering has become equally foundational.

The newly established research school "Data Science and Engineering" 
unites top PhD students and Postdocs in all areas of data-driven 
research and technology, including scalable storage, stream processing, 
data cleaning, machine learning and deep learning, text processing, data 
visualization and more. We apply our research to many different use 
cases across the participating interdisciplinary research groups, 
joining forces whenever possible.

Students and Postdocs enjoy a great research environment, close 
mentorship by professors and postdocs of the research school, 
interaction with many peers, enormous computing power with HPI's data 
lab, and significant travel funding. HPI professors and their research 
groups ensure high quality research and will supervise Ph.D. students.

Applications must be submitted by August 15th 2020. Please include

- Curriculum vitae and copies of certificates/transcripts
- Brief research proposal, ideally mentioning the suitable HPI research 
groups you would like to work with.
- Work samples/copies of relevant scientific work (e.g., master's thesis 
or scientific papers)
- Letters of recommendation and any other supporting documents
