Applyed Physics;
The appointed fixed-term researcher will conduct research on the topics characterizing the field of Applied Physics (e.g. study, production and development of physical methodologies to be employed in different applicative contexts, such as the medical, biological, biophysical, environmental and socio-economic ones).

Participation in the development of the School research activities. Interdisciplinary collaborations to develop and apply quantitative methods for data analysis. Tutorship and mentoring of PhD students. The position will strengthen one of the core missions of IMT Lucca in the multidisciplinary analysis of complex systems dynamics, via the application of data-driven methods and network-based methods (e.g. agent-based models; percolation models; models for network inference from observed time series) to study problems of interest in the context of the natural, social, economic, financial sciences and engineering (e.g. the diffusion of epidemics, the propagation of signals and shocks, the formation of opinions).
The ideal candidate is a scholar with a solid research background in network science and data science at the international level, an excellent publication track record with clear evidence of the results achieved so far and future perspectives. A specific experience in teaching at the post-graduate (master and doctorate) level will be considered as a plus.
