Position Description

Title: Bernoulli Instructorship in Probability and Analysis Institute of Mathematics

The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs 6,500 people who support its three main missions: education, research and innovation. Its campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of 17,000 people, including over 12,500 students and 4’000 researchers from 120 different countries.

Your mission : The Institute of Mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) invites applications for a full-time Bernoulli Instructorship in Probability and Analysis.

Main duties and responsibilities include : Bernoulli Instructors are expected to teach courses in their broader domain at all levels. The initial teaching load is light, corresponding to half that of regular faculty, and gradually increases to the latter.

Bernoulli Instructors are expected to develop and sustain an excellent independent research program. They are welcome to collaborate and encouraged to interact with members of the Institute, but they maintain full research independence.

Your Profile: Bernoulli Instructorships are prestigious postdoctoral research positions hosted within the Institute of Mathematics. They offer complete research autonomy and provide travel support, for a period up to four years, allowing promising early career researchers (up to 3 years post-PhD) to launch their independent research career.

Bernoulli Instructors are expected to be able to teach courses in English. Ability to teach in French is a plus, but not a prerequisite.

We offer: The term of the position is two years, with the possibility of extension for another two years.

EPFL salaries for instructors are highly competitive. In addition, instructors receive a substantial yearly budget for travel expenses and other expenditures.

The EPFL actively aims to increase the presence of women amongst its employees, and female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Expected starting date: September 1st, 2024 – negotiable

Application: Your files should be submitted in PDF format and uploaded at latest via the link below by December 31, 2023.

Files will be evaluated starting December 15, 2023.
