Research Assistant urban Percolation and criticaland

vor 7 Monaten


Dresden, Deutschland Leibniz-Institut für ökologische Raumentwicklung Vollzeit

**Research Assistant "Urban Percolation" and "CriticaLand"**
TV-L (collective agreement of the federal states), remuneration group E 13
full time 80% (32 working hours per week)

**Job-specific background**
The projects "Urban Percolation" and "CriticaLand" aim at a deeper understanding of the percolation properties of cities and the urban fabric - and the impact on animal mobility. The aim is to find out how the spatial organization of cities and settlements determines the critical threshold and which factors can be used to “predict” the critical value. Why do some countries or regions have particularly small or large critical values? One could argue that population density plays a role, but even for the same proportion of urban pixels (analogous to occupancy probability in percolation theory), these pixels can be distributed in arbitrary clusters, allowing a wide range of percolation thresholds. In summary, the projects deal with the prediction of the percolation threshold, the poles of inaccessibility (complementary to cluster formation), travel time percolation and spatial correlations of urban clusters. To address this work, a number of more technical tasks are also performed, including a variant of the Leath algorithm, parameter-free clustering, and a clustering comparison exercise.

**Your tasks**
- Development of a PhD thesis on the percolation properties of cities and urban land-cover
- Analysis of spatial data by means of clustering, comparison of methods, and the development of new ones
- Collaboration in the project team and contribution to joint deliverables

**Expected skills and competences**
- University degree (Master, Diploma) in Physics, Math, Complex Systems Science, Computer Science, or related fields
- Strength in analytical thinking and ease with quantitative and theoretical work
- Expertise in programming, experience with software development is valuable
- Experience in percolation, fractal geometry, network science, urban scaling, and handling geo-data, agent-based models are assets but not required
- Openness towards inter
- and trans-disciplinary research approaches and teams.
- English (CEFR level C1 or higher)

We offer
- Collaboration in a leading research institute of the Leibniz Association
- Creative and inspiring working environments
- Flat hierarchies and opportunities for participation
- Flexible and family friendly working time models
- Vivid organisational culture and team building
- Sustainable and ethics-based cooperation
- Equal opportunities, inclusion and diversity (repeatedly Total-E-Quality certified)
- Physical and mental health care support
- Career planning and further training opportunities
- Comprehensive sustainability management (LeNa)
- Job ticket and excellent accessibility
- Additional pension scheme (VBL)
