The Algebraic Statistics for Biology group investigates statistical and
biological questions through the lens of algebra, geometry and combinatorics, 
and develops new math motivated by this perspective. 

Many statistical and biological models are defined by polynomial restrictions
on their parameters or the resulting distributions. Information on the algebra
and geometry of a statistical model allows us to better understand the model 
and statistical procedures, often providing novel insights into statistical 
theory and applications. Conversely, such questions motivate new advancements
in algebraic geometry and related fields. 

Positions available for mathematicians with background in algebraic geometry, commutative algebra and combinatorics that are enthusiastic about interdisciplinary research with statistics and biology.

1. Internships for Summer 2026: August 10–September 18, 2026 (6 weeks) we will have a Dive into Research in Dresden, co-organized with Benjamin Hollering and Irem Portakal (MPI MiS Leipzig) funded by Combinatorial Synergies; see https://www.combinatorial-synergies.de/dives/ for a description and requirements. Email us for questions. More information to come.
