Fellowship Description

The School of Mathematical Sciences at Tel Aviv University invites applications for Post-doctoral Fellowships in Combinatorics for one year, with a possibility of extension for an additional year, starting October 1, 2026 (the starting date is negotiable).

The School of Mathematical Sciences is a leading international research institution in mathematics. It has a large and very active research group in Combinatorics, including Prof. Michael Krivelevich, Prof. Wojciech Samotij, Prof. Asaf Shapira, and several graduate students, with a weekly research seminar.

Further information about the School, including a list of our faculty, is available on our web site https://en-exact-sciences.tau.ac.il/math.

We welcome applications from candidates specialising in Combinatorics, who (will) have completed a Ph. D. degree in Mathematics or Computer Science by September 30, 2026. Preference will be given to applicants whose research interests are compatible with those of the relevant faculty in the School.

Post-doctoral Fellowships are strictly research positions and do not carry any teaching responsibilities.

Stipends for a one year fellowship are approximately 158,000 Israeli Shekels and are commensurable with entry level academic salaries in Israel. Additional funds for research related travel will also be available.

Candidates should arrange the following application materials to be uploaded via MathJobs:

• CV
• List of publications
• Research statement
• Three letters of recommendation

The deadline for applications is January 15, 2026.

Applications received after the deadline will be considered if positions remain open.
