Stellenbeschreibung:

Floer Fellow in Probability (m/f/x, in form of a position as an Academic Council, Akademischer RätinRat auf Zeit)

Our research group focuses on stochastic geometry. We study random spatial and geometric structures - from discrete to high-dimensional models - and analyze their asymptotic behavior using tools from probability theory, geometry and analysis. The group’s current research focuses on stochastic geometry, with a particular emphasis on models in hyperbolic space as well as discrete and high-dimensional aspects.

Position Details

Scope: full-time (41 hours/week = 100%)
Duration: fixed-term, 3+3 years

The position offers - and encourages - the opportunity for further academic qualification (e.g., a Habilitation).

Your profile

We are looking for applicants with an excellent PhD in mathematics, preferably in probability theory. Candidates with a strong background in geometry who enjoy engaging with probabilistic questions are also very welcome. Prior postdoctoral research experience is desirable.

We offer

Challenging and varied tasks with a high level of independence
Employment at one of the largest universities in Germany within the University Alliance Ruhr
Collaboration in a committed and appreciative team

Further information

The position is on a civil servant basis and is governed by the relevant civil service regulations, in particular the Landesbeamtengesetz (LBG NRW) and the Laufbahnverordnung (LVO). Salary is in pay grade A13.
