WE SEARCH FOR
Crises such as wars, pandemics, and climate extremes destabilise global and national supply chains, and can lead to significant supply shortages of essential goods, such as food and medicines. 
Severe disruptions propagating along complex supply chain networks can expose entire regions or countries to the risks of food supply shortages. How can the risks threatening food security be quantified in real time? 
How can supply chain networks be made more resilient to such shocks?

To answer these questions, we are looking for a dedicated postdoc for an interdisciplinary collaborative research project on developing a supply network stress testing (SNST) framework for real world supply network data of unprecedented detail. Based on cutting edge science of supply-chain networks and agent based modelling, SNST focuses on improving the resilience of the Austrian food security
YOUR PROFILE
We are looking for an excellent young scientist with a PhD degree (or equivalent) with a quantitative focus (e.g., data science, physics, mathematics, economics, operations research, supply chain management). 
The candidate must have a strong background in data-retrieval, data-driven simulation and modelling. We search for individuals with excellent programming skills and the ability to independently carry out data-intensive research, as evidenced by a track record of scientific publications. 
The ideal candidate has a strong interest in multidisciplinary work. Proficiency in English (written and spoken) is a prerequisite.
WE OFFER
We are offering this position (40h/week, € 66.532,- gross/year; parttime possible) to work with Stefan Thurner in the economics and supply chain team at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna, Austria. 
The successful candidate will work in a highly interdisciplinary environment and benefit from opportunities for personal development and access to an international network of researchers from different disciplines. 
The position can start as soon as possible.
APPLICATION
Please upload your application materials here on the jobplattform only. The application includes a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a brief research statement (why you think you are an excellent candidate in this topic and what research you would like to do with us), and any additional material that helps us to understand that you are research-oriented, technically skilled, and creative. 

Please also upload a document which includes names and full contact addresses of at least two individuals who are willing to write a letter of recommendation for you if we request it.
