Dear All,
I am forwarding the announcement below, which may be of interest to young researchers in the applied probability community.
Best wishes

3 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN MODELING AND ENGINEERING RISK AND
COMPLEXITY (MERC) AVAILABLE AT THE SSM-SCHOOL FOR ADVANCED STUDIES OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF NAPLES (Call no. MERC_021_01)
The
call for applications for three postdoctoral fellowships in Modeling
and Engineering Risk and Complexity iat the SSM-School for Advanced Studies of
the University of Naples is now available at:
http://www.ssm.unina.it/en/postdoctoral-fellowships-calls-and-procedures/
The
research programme will focus on the development of new methodological
approaches for the study, management and control of complex systems, the design
and engineering of resilient systems and the analysis and management of risks
(natural, anthropogenic, industrial and na-tech) and cascading
effects. The programme focuses on the integrated description and
management of phenomena affecting complex systems and the risks to which they
are exposed, in different application domains, through the use of methods for
mathematical, stochastic, computational and data-driven modelling.
The
programme should be characterised by a strongly multi- and inter-disciplinary
approach, based on the theory of dynamical systems and control, the study of
complex systems, infrastructures and networks, the theory of reliability for
the modelling of uncertainty, the analysis and management of risks deriving
from natural and anthropic phenomena on complex and interdependent systems and
the study of their emerging properties and domino and cascade effects.
The
candidate's activity should lie in at least one of the following three
multidisciplinary research areas
(i)
modelling, analysis and control of non-linear, uncertain, complex and
multi-agent systems
(ii)
stochastic modelling and reliability theory
(iii)
Modelling and analysis of natural, Na-Tech, man-made and industrial hazards.
The
winners will carry out their research at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale of
the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II in close collaboration with
the research groups already involved in the activities of the PhD students
active there. They will also be required to engage in the teaching and tutoring
activities of the School, by either giving courses at PhD level or
undergraduate level for the students of the School.
Each
fellowship is 1 year long (renewable up to 3 years) with a yearly gross salary
of EUR 35,000.
Deadline
for applications: 31st July 2021 at 2pm CET.
