The QLS section provides a unique international research environment for
postdoctoral fellows with about 15 group members (faculty, postdocs,
graduate students and visitors), an intense programme of workshops and
conferences, close collaborations with local institutions (SISSA, ICGEB,
Trieste University) and internationally renowned research institutions. The
QLS section has expertise in a broad range of fields including statistical
physics of information processing, information theory, statistical
learning, reinforcement learning, ecology and evolution, biophysics, and
stochastic thermodynamics. Postdoctoral fellows are encouraged, and
supported, to participate in activities in developing countries in order to
promote the mission of the ICTP.

Candidates should have a background in statistical mechanics and/or applied
mathematics, and be able to carry out active, independent and

   -   Individual and collective behaviour in animals and machines.


Candidates with expertise in both theoretical aspects and in data science
are especially encouraged to apply.

Benefits include health insurance, a pension contribution, and special
allowances for family members. Appointments will be made for two years,
