About this position

Leiden University is recruiting a PhD candidate to work on complex networks at the intersection of mathematics and computer science. The project is based across the Mathematical Institute (MI) and the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science and AI (LIACS), and the successful candidate will join an international research environment spanning the Leiden AlFa group, the Probability research group, and close collaboration with the Network Science group.

The research investigates how structural properties in real-world complex networks can be understood and modeled through mathematically tractable network models. The project combines theoretical modeling with computational and data-driven investigation, with attention to how spatial structure, clustering, heterogeneity, and connectivity influence network behavior.

  • Possible directions include network science and spatial network modeling.
  • Other themes include random graph models and data-driven methods for network analysis.
  • The balance between theory, computation, and data analysis can be adapted to the candidate’s background and interests.

The role includes conducting research for a publication-based PhD thesis and contributing a limited amount of teaching and supervision. The advertised position is embedded in a collaborative environment with links to the Faculty of Science and broader network-science communities.

Supervision will be provided by Dr. Moritz Otto and Dr. Akrati Saxena, with Professor Michel Mandjes acting as promotor.

What's required

A university degree in mathematics, computer science or a closely related field is required. Applicants should have knowledge in network science/complex networks or related areas such as graph theory, probability, random graphs, complex systems, or topological data analysis. Programming experience, preferably in Python, and willingness to develop strong computational skills are expected. Candidates should have strong motivation for academic research, good English communication skills, and the ability to work independently and in a team. Applicants must live and be officially registered as residents in the Netherlands or be willing to relocate when starting. Candidates expecting to complete their Master’s degree by early spring 2027 are also encouraged to apply.

How to apply

Apply through the university application tool by 24 November 2026. Submit your CV, full bachelor’s and master’s transcripts, a cover letter (max 2 pages), a recent writing sample, and the name/contact details of at least one academic reference. If you have questions about suitability, contact Moritz Otto or Akrati Saxena before applying; application-procedure questions can be sent to [email protected].
