Four temporary full professorships in mathematics as "Bonn Junior Fellows", Bonn (Germany)

The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) at the University of Bonn brings together researchers in Theoretical and Applied Mathematics, and Mathematical Economics. In this framework, the center is looking forward to filling up to four W2-Professorships ("Bonn Junior Fellows") within the next few years. These are temporary positions for a period of five years. To some of these positions, a tenure-track option is associated, and, in exceptional cases, a position may be tenured immediately.

The professorships intend to encourage independent research by outstanding young researchers, in analogy to the research groups of the "Max-Planck-Society" or the "Emmy-Noether-Program" of the German Research Foundation. The professorships are endowed with travel and guest funds, and with a postdoc position during the initial period. Bonn Junior Fellows also participate in the additional resources of the Hausdorff Center. Professors are encouraged to supervise doctoral students. For an initial period, teaching obligations amount to four hours per week during semesters.

We seek candidates who fit into the broad spectrum of the Cluster of Excellence. Depending on the respective research focus, candidates become members of the "Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences" or of the "Faculty of Law and Economics" at the University of Bonn. German language skills are not required. Not all positions will be assigned at the same time; there will be several separate selection rounds. The deadline for the third application round is 11th October 2014. Expected starting date is not later than 1st October 2015.
