The Department of Mathematics (DMATH) of the Faculty of Science, Technology, and Medicine (FSTM) of the University of Luxembourg is opening a position for a Full Professor or Associate Professor (Promotion track) in Mathematics.

Associate professor position, permanent, with perspective of promotion to Full Professor after 5 years upon a positive evaluation. In case of an excellent senior candidate, a direct appointment at the level of Full Professor may be considered.

The Department of Mathematics is seeking candidates in all areas of mathematics. In particular, researchers having demonstrated excellence or exceptional promise in the areas of algebra, combinatorics, geometry, analysis, mathematical physics, probability theory, number theory or topology are encouraged to apply. Candidates who bring expertise bridging current areas of research present in the university will be viewed favourably. A relation to applicable mathematics (e.g. topological/geometric aspects of data science, mathematical aspects of post-quantum cryptography, or numerical analysis) will also be considered positively.

The successful candidate is expected to apply for joint and individual third-party funding (such as calls of the Luxembourg FNR, or of the European ERC program). Evidence of this ability (as portrayed by the candidate’s track record) will be a crucial selection criterion. The University of Luxembourg is set in a multilingual context. The person hired on this position must be proficient in English and either French or German. The University encourages its staff to learn the other language and provides access to language courses to this end.

We ensure a full consideration for applications received by 15 June 2022. All applications and letters should be sent by e-mail to the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Dr. Jean-Marc Schlenker, using the email address: FSTM.recruitment-dmath@uni.lu.

For further questions please contact the current head of the department: Professors Giovanni Peccati.

The University of Luxembourg embraces inclusion and diversity as key values. We are fully committed to removing any discriminatory barrier related to gender, and not only, in recruitment and career progression of our staff.

The University of Luxembourg is and offers:

The University of Luxembourg is an equal opportunity employer and strives to increase the share of female professors. As portrayed by recent hires and its outreach activities, the Department of Mathematics is actively engaged in this endeavor. We explicitly encourage women to apply.

More about the university and the department:

The University of Luxembourg is set in a multilingual context. The person hired on this position must be proficient in English and either French or German. The University encourages its staff to learn the other language and provides access to language courses to this end. The University of Luxembourg, which currently ranks 25th among the world best universities under 50 years on the Times Higher Education (THE) list, is a public university with a strong focus on research and a highly international faculty. Like the University, the Department of Mathematics is very ambitious and continues to develop in excellence, breadth and diversity. Thanks to support by multiple third-party funding schemes, the department is extremely active with many high-level postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates.

Luxembourg is a cosmopolitan country, the green heart of Europe combining the convenience of a metropolis with a human touch (www.euraxess.lu). There are International/European schools and international tracks in local schools, as well as an excellent child care system. The main site of the university (where the Department of Mathematics is located) is situated in Esch-Belval, and is a new and modern campus in a highly original environment.
