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 3: From formal behavioral specifications of chemical systems to their chemical implementation. The application deadline is 23 October 2023. The anticipated start date is 1 January 2024, but flexibility in both directions is possible. Systems theory defines a chemical reaction system as transformations of abstract entities, i.e. only the stoichiometric relations between the entities are considered. Rule-based approaches on the other hand focus on the rearrangements of chemical bonds and therefore require that the entities have explicit internal structure. This imposes constraints on the stoichiometry and, vice versa, the system level constrains the molecules (entities) given the rules and the rules given the molecules. The aim of this project is to develop a theory and accompanying algorithms to decide if an abstract system can be instantiated by a concrete “chemistry” defined as a set of molecules and a set of rules. The PhD candidate will study abstract reaction networks with respect to their realizability with concrete chemistry. For example, given a metabolic network is there an alternative chemistry that produces the same stoichiometric network? This type of problem can be formalised in the framework of SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theory). The PhD project involves the development of a theory and accompanying algorithms to tackle such problems. Applications will lie in the area of the design of enzyme cascades.
We are seeking an excellent and highly motivated individual with an MSc degree in computer science, mathematics, chemistry, computational biology or a related subject. The ideal candidate has familiarity with one or more of the following areas: algorithmics, graph theory, satisfiability problems, discrete optimization. Strong interests in chemistry as well as proven competences in programming and ease with formal thinking are a necessity.
This PhD project is a joint degree between Leipzig University (Peter Stadler) and University of Vienna (Christoph Flamm). Additionally, the student will have a three months research visit at TU Vienna (Thomas Gärtner) and six months research visit at EMBL (Alba Diz-Muñoz).
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:
