| This is a 3-year research postdoctoral position to begin in Autumn 2019 (or sooner if preferred), with research focus in symplectic topology and contact topology. The position is funded by the ERC project "New Transversality Techniques in Holomorphic Curve Theories" of Prof. Chris Wendl. There is no teaching load and thus no language requirement; some voluntary teaching of upper-level courses in English can be arranged if desired. The HU Berlin has an expanding symplectic geometry group that currently includes two professors (Wendl and Mohnke), three to four postdocs and two to three Ph.D. students. For this position we are looking for candidates with a Ph.D. in mathematics and expertise in symplectic topology, contact topology or geometric analysis. Applications should include a CV, publications list, description of current and planned research, and letters of recommendation sent separately by two references who can comment on your research abilities. Please send all of this by January 1, 2019, quoting the reference number DR/159/18, preferably in electronic form to wendl@math.hu-berlin.de. Applications may also be sent in the post to: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Department of Mathematics, Prof. Wendl, Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin. The HU seeks to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching, and specifically encourages qualified female scholars to apply. Severely disabled applicants with equivalent qualifications will be given preferential consideration. People with an immigration background are specifically encouraged to apply. Since we will not return your documents, please only submit copies in the application.
