We are looking for PhD candidates to join the TACsy (Training Alliance for Computational Systems Chemistry) Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Joint Doctoral Network. This network consists of fifteen (15) highly interlinked PhD projects, of which this particular call is for project DC 1: Efficient Graph Canonicalization and Subgraph Finding Approaches for Typed Attributed Chemical Graphs. The application deadline is 23 October 2023. The anticipated start date is 1 January 2024, but flexibility in both directions is possible.
Chemical molecules are classically described as undirected graphs of bounded degree, with nodes representing atoms and edges representing bonds. Therefore, chemical reactions can be well described by graph transformation formalisms and methods. A computational framework for executing these methods has been developed, but there is a challenging need to expand it to allow for more detailed chemical information encoded in attributed graphs. This will require the generalization of established algorithmic approaches. One example of this is the canonicalization of molecular graphs that include stereochemical information – highly efficient canonicalization algorithms are key when huge chemical spaces are to be generated by graph transformation-based methods, but current algorithms do not incorporate stereochemical information.
The goal of this PhD project is to combine state-of-the-art approaches from graph theory, algorithms, and algorithm engineering in order to develop the basis of ground-breaking computational methods applicable to the analysis of large networks of chemical reactions.
We are seeking an excellent and highly motivated individual with an MSc degree in computer science or a related subject. The ideal candidate has familiarity with one or more of the following areas: algorithmics, category theory, graph theory, graph transformation, algorithm engineering. Proven competences in programming and ease with formal thinking are a necessity.
This PhD project is a joint degree between University of Southern Denmark (Daniel Merkle, Jakob Lykke Andersen) and Leipzig University (Peter Stadler). Additionally, the student will have a three-months internship at BASF SE (Germany).
The TACsy consortium encompasses 11 partners across six countries in Europe and North America, including both academic institutions and industrial partners. The consortium consists of world-class scientists with competences spanning chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, and machine learning. All fifteen doctoral candidates will work with two research groups, and will obtain a degree from both host institutions, and complete research stays either at world-leading industry partners or at prestigious non-European academic partners:
The candidates will all be part of a strong joint PhD training programme, with a focus on career development, application writing, communication skills, and community building through scientific summer schools.
All candidates will be expected to:

Salary, working conditions, application process, etc.
All positions are fully funded, with very competitive salaries. More information on funding from the MSCA programme can be found here (beginning on page 78). Please note that a country correction coefficient (page 109) applies to the living allowance in order to ensure equal treatment and purchasing power parity for all researchers. Salary rules apply to the doctoral candidates hosted in the European Union and will change depending on the host institution.
The TACsy project wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. We are searching for a diverse group of candidates with very different backgrounds and qualities, who inspire and motivate each other. We want every talent to feel at home in our organisations and to have the same career opportunities. The position of working hours is flexible in order to accommodate individual needs and allow for the best possible work-life balance for each candidate.
The guaranteed Doctoral Candidate PhD funding from the European Commission is for 36 months. Therefore, appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three years. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period. Additional funding may be possible, depending on the local supervisor and in accordance with the regular PhD time in the country of origin.
Applications must be in English and must include the following:
Applications must be submitted electronically using the link “Apply online”. Attached files must be in Adobe PDF or Word format. Each box can only contain a single file of max. 10 Mb. We strongly recommend that you read “How to apply” before you apply.
Incomplete applications and applications received after the deadline will neither be considered nor evaluated. This also applies to reference letters.
Details on the selection process can be found here. Please note that the recruitment team reserves the right to conduct a second interview. Shortlisting may be used in the assessment process.
Please note that there are two limitations to apply for this programme, as specified in the MSCA regulations. Applicants must:
