We advertise a three-year research assistant position within the MATH+ 
research project "Learning Extremal Structures in Combinatorics". The 
successful candidate will work on the interface of Extremal 
Combinatorics and Machine Learning. The project will be conducted in 
close collaboration between the IOL Group (https://iol.zib.de ) of the 
Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) and the Combinatorics and Graph Theory group 
of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Freie 
Universität Berlin 
(http://www.mi.fu-berlin.de/en/math/groups/geokomb/index.html ), with 
the position being integrated in the latter.

The position can be filled either on the postdoctoral or the PhD-student 
level. The intended project start is April 2021 but a later start may 
also be possible.

Deadline for applications: *February 1.*

Requirements:
- Master degree in Mathematics or related field.

Desirable:
- strong background in Combinatorics and Graph Theory
- experience with algorithms and enthusiasm for implementation (advanced 
programming skills in Python and/or related programming languages)
- very good written and spoken English

Qualified candidates are asked to submit a short cover letter outlining 
professional background, a detailed CV, list of publications (for 
postdoc candidates), and arrange three letters of recommendation to be 
sent by the reference writers in case applying for a postdoc position 
and two letters in case of applying for a PhD-studentship. Please

applying via Email and provide your documents in one PDF document, if 
possible.

All applications should be directed preferably electronically in one 
PDF-file to: Tibor Szabó (c/o Sabrina Nordt: nordt at math.fu-berlin.de) or 
postal to

MATH+, the Berlin Mathematics Research Center (www.mathplus.de), is a 
cross-institutional and transdisciplinary Cluster of Excellence of the 
three Berlin universities. It sets out to advance mathematics and its 
interdisciplinary power with the aim of achieving progress on grand 
challenges in a wide variety of application fields. The Combinatorics 
and Graph Theory group at Freie Universität Berlin 
(http://www.mi.fu-berlin.de/en/math/groups/geokomb/index.html ) consists 
of researchers from mathematics with expertise in different aspects of 
extremal and probabilistic combinatorics and graph theory. The IOL Group 
(https://iol.zib.de ) is situated at the intersection of Machine 
Learning and Optimization.
