Dear TDA community,
Our team (AI/ML) is looking for an intern at the Ph.D. student level for Summer 2022. Having a TDA background would be a plus. Please apply through the link. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position has been filled. Please feel free to contact me at yumchung@alumni.iu.edu if you have any question. Thank you very much.
Best,
Yu-Min Chung, Ph.D.

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville) is hiring an assistant professor in Topology; while the search is broadly in the area, the department is particularly interested in hiring a researcher in applied topology. Please apply by November 1 at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/18449. Note the instructions about the cover letter; this letter will help the committee gauge the candidate’s level of interest in the position.
The department is also having an area-open search for three postdocs (https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/18453), and would be particularly interested in hiring a postdoc who could interact with the incoming assistant professor in Topology. In fact, choice of one of the postdocs could be a point of negotiation with the incoming assistant professor if time permits.
The Department of Mathematics at Colorado State University plans to hire approximately three postdocs to start in Fall, 2022. All research areas in the department are sought, and we (Henry Adams and Amit Patel) will be encouraging the department to consider hiring a talented candidate in applied topology, to be co-advised by both of us.
For more information, please see the advertisement on MathJobs:
https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/18456
Though the listed deadline is July 2022, we encourage folks to have their applications submitted before the end of November 2021, if possible.
Best,
Henry Adams and Amit Patel

Position Description
Data Scientist
Position No: FLSA Status: Exempt
Grade: EEO Category/Job Group:
JOB SUMMARY We are seeking a Data Scientist to join the Austere environments Consortium for Enhanced Sepsis Outcomes (ACESO). ACESO aims to identify host-based markers capable of accurately diagnosing and prognosing patients with severe infections in austere settings and transitioning those markers to point-of-care assay platforms. The Data Scientist is responsible for analyzing complex data and developing insights through the use of statistical models, data mining, and data visualization techniques.
This position is based at The Henry M. Jackson Foundation (HJF) in Bethesda, Maryland, although alternate arrangements will be considered. HJF provides scientific, technical and programmatic support services for the worldwide ACESO program.
ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES: 95% of time
1. Analyzes complex datasets including RNA sequence data, proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and metabolomics data. Applies advanced statistical and predictive modeling techniques and data visualization approaches. Develops innovative approaches to answer research questions.
2. Integrates and prepares large datasets, develops specialized database and computing environments as needed.
3. Provides subject matter expertise as needed, including recommendations on data collection and integration.
4. Communicates results on a regular basis with the science team and key stakeholders, and prepares presentations and reports as needed.
5. Performs other duties as required.
JOB SPECIFICATIONS:
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
Experience with complex datasets
Proficiency in statistical analysis, forcasting/predictive analytics, and algorithm optimization.
Experience with data mining/pattern recognition approaches; experience with topological data analysis preferred
Strong programming skills
Able to develop solutions to loosely defined problems
Able to communicate effectively
Minimum Education/Training Requirements: PhD in mathematics, statistics, computer science or related field. At least 2 years relevant experience.
Physical Capabilities: Extended periods of sitting
Required Licenses, Certification or Registration: n/a

Work Environment: Office or laboratory environment
Any qualifications to be considered as equivalents, in lieu of stated minimums, require the prior approval of the Director of Human Resources
Dear Topologists,
The Institute of Mathematics in Aberdeen is now advertising two postdoctoral positions funded by an EPSRC grant obtained by myself. The project is entitled “Topological Analysis of Neural Systems”. It is a collaborative and interdisciplinary project by its very nature, and aims to apply the powerful tools of algebraic topology to questions in neuroscience. A summary of the project can be found on the EPSRC website. A large part of the project will be carried out in collaboration with the Blue Brain Project at EPFL, led by neuroscientist Henry Markram, and the Laboratory for Topology and Neuroscience led by Kathryn Hess. The post in Aberdeen is funded for 3 years, and will include a generous travel and equipment budget. Work on this project will involve both theoretical and applied topology. Start date is 1st September 2017, but a later start date may be negotiated.
The first position is intended for a person holding a PhD in algebraic topology with a strong interest in studying and applying theoretical and computational tools of algebraic topology to neuroscience, and other relevant subjects. Experience in computations and/or applied algebraic topology would be an advantage but is not a requirement. Basic training in neuroscience and in computational topology will be available if necessary.
This post is currently advertised at https://www.abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/research-fellow-310013.html with closing date 4th May 2017.
The second post is intended for either a computer scientist or a mathematician with a strong background in high level coding, who is interested in applying their skill to computational and applied algebraic topology in the context of the project. While this post is not formally advertised yet (it will be in two weeks), all applications for the post already advertised will be considered for both positions.
Informal inquiries are very welcome. Please email r.levi@abdn.ac.uk.
Best wishes, Ran
