Dear colleagues, Please find below an announcement of PhD and postdoc positions on the Topological Data Analysis (TDA) + Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) + Deep Learning of 3D+time microglia morphology Regards, Jooyoung Hahn Assistant Professor, FNSPE, Czech Technical University in Prague ---------------------------------------------- Pre-announcement: PhD and postdoc positions in MIND-MAP What does it mean when a brain cell changes its shape? In MIND-MAP, we turn 3D + time microscopy of microglia into geometry, topology and a quantitative language for brain states. The project combines mathematical method development with real, challenging biological data: the goal is not merely to apply existing tools, but to develop new ones. Two groups are recruiting, within a three-year project (2027–2029): PhD position at CTU in Prague (FNSPE), with Jooyoung Hahn • Hybrid PDE + deep-learning segmentation, scale-aware 3D shape representations, tracking in 3D + time, and geometry-informed TDA • Master's degree in mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, physics or a related field; strong numerical analysis; Python and/or C++ • Contact: jooyoung.hahn@fjfi.cvut.cz<mailto:jooyoung.hahn@fjfi.cvut.cz> by 20 November 2026 • Flyer: https://jooyounghahn.github.io/jobs/MIND-MAP_PhD_CTU_Prague.html<https://www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnkd%2Ein%2FdNTxyFAc&urlhash=M2g5&mt=flMZFZpsywNN1PjyvcCZBXg-g_RWE-ZETh132p-ZN7mvGKe56QRDk2VeHSfCvtFQ5mViBR9PeHnWOo2mTYjiUk7-BEI4JHyTfHWIO6HrIGzCYkl3jxPKk4vnrw&isSdui=true> PhD and Postdoc positions at the University of Warsaw, with Pawel Dlotko • Topological descriptors of shapes that change in time, shape trajectories, Ball Mapper and interpretable visualization • PhD: master's degree in a quantitative field.
