The group led by Gemma De las Cuevas at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Innsbruck (Austria) is inviting applications to fill 2 PhD and 2 Postdoc positions.

The positions are funded by the START Prize. The goal of the project is to bring together notions of universality in spin physics, computer science, and neural networks - the vision of the project is explained in this essay. For these reasons, candidates should have a background either in physics, theoretical computer science (e.g. automata theory) or machine learning, and should be very motivated. Applications of women are encouraged. Salaries are determined by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). 

Applicants should send their CV, their grades, a short motivation text, and the names of 2 references to gemma.delascuevas@uibk.ac.at at their earliest convenience. Positions will be open until they are filled.
