Postdoc position @CoMuNe Lab in Trento
Q@TN is a joint initiative of the University of Trento, the Bruno Kessler Foundation, and the National Research Council aimed at coordinating their present and future activities in the field of Quantum Science and Technologies. Q@TN promotes research projects, technological transfer, education and training.
The project “ARTificial Intelligence for Quantum Systems” (ARTIQS) is inherently interdisciplinary, fostering cross-fertilization between the machine-learning and network-theory communities in ICT, the computational physics community and materials scientists in Trento, with a unique opportunity for the post-doctoral associate to work within and beyond the realm of quantum physics.

I am writing to inform you that three positions are available within my research programs on complex and networked systems:
1) post-doctoral researcher, for a duration of 18 months, within the research project “Mac2Mic” – Macro to Micro: uncovering the hidden mechanisms driving network dynamics. The project is funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperations and by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the State of Israel, in the framework of the bilateral initiatives of scientific and technological cooperation. The aim of the project is the inference of local/individual dynamics (node dynamics) in networked systems for which global measurements at the population level (i.e., “observables”) are available. The project is carried out in collaboration with Dr. Guido Caldarelli (Institute of Complex Systems, National Research Council, Rome, and IMT Lucca) and Dr. Baruch Barzel (Bar-Ilan University, Tel Aviv, Israel). The post-doctoral researcher will be hired at Politecnico di Torino. An outgoing mobility phase of at least two stays of two months each at Bar-Ilan University is mandatory (additional funds for mobility are allocated).
2) Ph.D. student at the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Dynamical Systems Laboratory, directed by Prof. Maurizio Porfiri. The research will be focused on time-varying complex networks for modeling and control of epidemic processes in heterogeneous populations. The candidate will enroll at New York University and will be co-mentored by Prof. Porfiri and myself. It will be possible to work toward a dual-title agreement with Politecnico di Torino, subject to a mobility activity of at least one year, which can be fractioned in two period of at least six months each.
3) Post-doc researcher at the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Dynamical Systems Laboratory, directed by Prof. Maurizio Porfiri. The research will be focused on time-varying complex networks for modeling and control of epidemic processes in heterogeneous populations. Duration and terms of the appointment are negotiable.
PhD and Postdoc positions at CoMuNe Lab
The Complex Multilayer Networks (CoMuNe) Lab is the Research Unit of Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), placed in Povo (Trento, Italy), for modeling and analysis of complex and interconnected systems. Multilayer modeling often provides more insights than more traditional approaches, because they allow to naturally integrate available structural/relational/dynamical information. We use Network and Data Science to study structure, dynamics and resilience of real-world natural and artificial systems, from the human brain to society, at the edge of statistical physics, applied math and computer science.
We have 4 openings for fully funded PhD scholarships and 1 postdoctoral fellowship in Network Science (please, visit https://comunelab.fbk.eu/jobs.php for additional information):

## About CoMuNe Lab
Natural and artificial networked systems exhibit a high level of complexity, such as simultaneous relationships or interactions, temporal variations, interdependency.
The Complex Multilayer Networks (CoMuNe) Lab (https://comunelab.fbk.eu/) is an interdisciplinary group at the Bruno Kessler Foundation (https://www.fbk.eu/en/) develops mathematical models to account for this high level of complexity of networked systems, using higher-order tensors to encode available information and to represent these integrated systems, called multilayer networks. Our areas of interest include
* Collective dynamics in complex socio-technical systems
* Human brain networks in neuro-degenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders
* Integration of multi-level/multilayer molecular networks in human diseases
* Social-ecological systems’ response to climate change
* Interplay between human mobility, information awareness and epidemics spreading
* Robustness and resilience of empirical complex systems
