The Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics at the University of Bonn, Germany, invites applications for a starting as soon as possible. We are looking for a junior scientist with research focus on combinatorial optimization and publications in first-class journals and conferences. Besides research and teaching in discrete mathematics, we expect contributions to the industry cooperations of the research institute (in the areas of chip design and tour planning); therefore experience with applied projects is welcome. The initial contract runs for three years. After a positive intermediate evaluation it can be renewed for another three years as a W2 professorhsip. After a positive final evaluation, the university offers a (competitive) tenure track, regardless of whether a position is open at that time. The Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics is a central scientific unit of the University of Bonn and part of the cluster of excellence "Hausdorff Center for Mathematics". The holder of this position will become member of the faculty of mathematics and natural sciences. The University of Bonn actively supports diversity and equal opportunities. The University of Bonn has been certified as a family-friendly university and offers a dual career service. Its aim is to increase the proportion of women in those fields in which women are underrepresented and to place a special focus on promoting their careers. Therefore, the university specifically requests applications from suitably qualified women. Applications will be handled in accordance with the Equal Opportunities Act of North Rhine-Westphalia. Applications from suitably qualified people with severe disabilities that have already been verified or from people with an equivalent status will be particularly welcomed. Applications including CV, copies of academic transcripts and certificates, list of publications, teaching experience, and research plan should be submitted no later than October 31st, 2021. The commitee may also accept, at its discretion, applications beyond this date. |
