What is a Postdoc in Topological Data?

A Postdoc in Topological Data is a researcher who has completed their PhD and is engaged in advanced research focused on the application of topology—an area of mathematics dealing with spatial properties—to analyze and interpret complex data sets. These positions typically involve both theoretical work and the development of computational tools to extract meaningful patterns from high-dimensional or complex data. Postdocs in this field often collaborate with interdisciplinary teams in mathematics, computer science, and applied domains such as biology or engineering. The role is intended to deepen expertise, publish research, and prepare for academic or research-intensive careers.

What are some typical collaborative opportunities for a Postdoc in Topological Data within academic or research settings?

As a Postdoc in Topological Data, you can expect to collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams, including mathematicians, computer scientists, and domain experts from fields like biology or materials science. Collaborative projects often involve developing or applying topological methods to analyze complex datasets, contributing both theoretical insights and computational tools. These interactions may include co-authoring research papers, participating in joint seminars, and working with graduate students. Such collaborations not only broaden your research impact but also help expand your professional network and skill set.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Postdoc in Topological Data, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Postdoc in Topological Data, you need a strong background in mathematics (particularly topology, algebra, and geometry), data analysis, and a PhD in a related field. Familiarity with computational tools like Python, R, MATLAB, and software libraries for topological data analysis (such as GUDHI or Ripser) is typically required. Exceptional problem-solving ability, collaboration, and strong scientific communication skills help distinguish top candidates in interdisciplinary research environments. These skills are crucial for advancing research, publishing high-quality work, and contributing effectively to collaborative scientific projects.

Next Lives at the University of Cincinnati
Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati ranks among the nation's best urban public research universities. Home to more than 53,600 students, 12,000 faculty and staff, and over 360,000 living alumni, UC, a Carnegie 1 institution, combines research prowess with a physical setting The New York Times has called "the most ambitious campus design program in the country." UC's momentum has never been stronger as the anchor of the Cincinnati Innovation District, the oldest cooperative education (co-op) program in the country with students earning $94 million annually through paid experiences, an academic health system, and as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The university contributes $10.6 billion in economic impact to the city and $22.7 billion to the state of Ohio. At UC, next is all of us. Learn more at uc.edu.
UC is a mission-driven organization where we are committed to student success and positively transforming the community through scholarship and service. We thrive on innovation, making an impact, and fostering an environment where staff and faculty are key contributors to UC's success.
Job Overview
The P&G Digital Accelerator@UC is seeking a PhD environmental scientist or biologist for a 24-month post-doctoral position. Building upon the foundational work of the CEFIC LRI eco46 polymer research program, the successful candidate will lead the design and execution of innovative experiments to evaluate the environmental hazard of water-soluble polymers.
Essential Functions
  • Biological hazard assessment: Lead the design and laboratory execution of experiments to characterize the effects of water-soluble polymers on aquatic organisms under environmentally relevant conditions.
  • Experimental Innovation: Develop and refine testing strategies that account for complex polymer behaviors (e.g., sorption, bioavailability, and physical effects) in "wet lab" environments.
  • Data Synthesis: Perform advanced data analysis and statistical modeling to interpret complex dose-response relationships and integrate findings into environmental risk assessment frameworks.
  • Collaborative Research: Work within a multi-functional team of toxicologists, chemists, and regulatory experts to translate experimental data into environmental safety models.

Required Education
PhD Degree in environmental science including environmental toxicology, environmental risk assessment biology, or closely related life science fields.
Required Experience
  • Capable of independently designing and executing experiments, data interpretation, and identifying appropriate follow-up strategies.
  • Strong experimental design and troubleshooting skills.
  • Solid understanding of chemical phys/chem properties.
  • Engage in trainings that is needed for job performance such as safety, data analysis and quality control.

Additional Qualifications Considered
  • Strong "wet lab" skills, hands-on laboratory experience with standard environmental science model organisms (e.g., Daphnia).
  • Experience with standard regulatory environmental hazard methods will be preferred (e.g., OECD/EPA/ISO methods for algae, invertebrates, fish alternative approaches).
  • Demonstrated attention to detail is critical. Must be able to critically evaluate complex data sets and apply new approaches to solve complex environmental testing questions.
  • The individual must be a team player with a "Roll up your sleeves" attitude and able to partner with a multi-functional team to define and execute against experimental requirements.
  • Excellent adaptability and flexibility, and most importantly excellent learning capabilities with open mindset.

Physical Requirements/Work Environment
  • Office environment/no specific unusual physical or environmental demands.
