Mathematics Münster is establishing the DFG funded Research Training Group 3027: “Rigorous Analysis of Complex Random Systems”. We seek to employ methods from Probability Theory, Mathematical Analysis and related fields to understand how probabilistic systems modelled on a microscopic scale behave effectively on macroscopic scales. Within this RTG we are seeking to fill positions as
