The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is Ruhr-Universität Bochum’s declared aim.
JUNIOR PROFESSOR (WITHOUT TENURE TRACK) (M/F/D) FOR COMBINATORICS (SALARY SCALE W1)
The Faculty of Mathematics at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum invites applications for the position of a Junior Professor (without tenure track) (m/f/d) for Combinatorics (Salary Scale W 1) to start on as soon as possible.
The successful candidate will represent the subject of Combinatorics in research and teaching. Applicants should have demonstrated excellence in an active area of Combinatorics. Preference will be given to applicants working at interconnections of the following fields: enumerative combinatorics, reflections and symmetries, commutative algebra, discrete geometry, matroid theory, convexity and lattices, applications such as the theory of amplituhedra and positive geometry.
We are looking for a junior scientist with an internationally visible research profile who complements the existing research expertise and fundings at the Faculty of Mathematics. A close collaboration with the priority program SPP2458 "Combinatorial Synergies" will be expected. The teaching duties will include mathematics courses at undergraduate and graduate level. The teaching load is reduced.
The appointment is initially limited to three years and may be extended for another three years upon successful evaluation. A PhD thesis of outstanding quality and a proven track record in teaching are expected, as well as willingness to contribute to administrative tasks. Candidates have to meet the appointment requirements according to section 36ff Hochschulgesetz NRW.
We furthermore expect
- strong commitment to teaching
- willingness to participate in interdisciplinary research
- capacity to secure research funding through competitive grant schemes and willingness to participate in existing cooperations (in particular SPP2458).
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is an equal opportunity employer and committed to diversity. We thus favor a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in their respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly invites job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference over equally qualified male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
Complete applications (single PDF document including CV, list of publications, certificates, list of third-party funding, teaching record, statement of research interests) should be sent under the specification ANR 2995 by e-mail to the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Prof. Dr. Gerd Laures, e-mail: mathe-dekanat(at)rub.de, no later than 08.04.2024.
