We are offering the fixed-term part-time positions (75% FTE) for 3 years. Some of the positions are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), for example through the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, the Collaborative Research Centre “Geometry: Deformations and Rigidity”, a Leibniz prize, and some are funded by the University of Münster’s mathematical institutes, for example the Chair for Applied Analysis. The financial terms of the positions remain consistent regardless of the funding source. The main selection criterion is academic excellence
Your tasks:
This position is tied to working towards a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in any mathematical field related to the work being undertaken at the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster.

Our expectations:
- A university degree with above average grades in mathematics or a related field that meets the qualifications required for a doctorate is essential.
- Research interests that align with or foster links between the research areas at Mathematics Münster are required.
- Above average mathematical ability, as well as intellectual and analytical strength are expected.
- A high level of motivation and enjoyment in scientific work, ambition and commitment is expected.
- Good English communication skills are necessary but German language skills are not a requirement.
- The ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team is expected
Advantages for you:
The successful candidates will profit from the amenities of the Cluster of Excellence and the Mathematics Münster Graduate School including funding for conference travel or summer schools and opportunities to coorganise academic events and participate in numerous networking opportunities and events.
Application documents:
- Applications should contain a cover letter, CV, copies of degree certificates (bachelor’s and master’s) and full academic transcripts, as well as evidence of proficiency in English.
- Applicants are invited to include examples of their academic work if appropriate.
- Applicants should also nominate at least two potential local supervisors listed as investigators in a relevant research area at Mathematics Münster.
- Please arrange for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to mm.applications@uni-muenster.de by the referees before 1 May 2024.
