Position Description:

The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI MiS) invites applications from established, highly qualified international researchers for its

Visiting Scientist Program.

MPI MiS is a leading global center for research at the interface of fundamental mathematics and the natural, engineering, and social sciences. We seek to foster new mathematical concepts and structures driven by scientific inquiry. Applications are welcome from distinguished scholars whose research aligns with or complements the mathematical fields actively pursued at the Institute, including:

Applied Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, and Calculus of Variations
Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics
Nonlinear Algebra, Combinatorics, and Algebraic Geometry

The Visiting Scientist Program offers an ideal opportunity to dedicate an extended period (typically 1–6 months, longer stays are possible) to research in a stimulating, interdisciplinary environment with no teaching obligations. Successful applicants will be expected to engage in close collaboration with a specific research group or director at the Institute, enriching our academic community through their expertise and knowledge exchange.

We Offer:

A vibrant, international, and stimulating research environment.
Access to excellent infrastructure, including the institute's library and computing facilities.
Depending on the career stage and funding situation, fellowships may be available for highly qualified candidates. Researchers with external funding are also strongly encouraged to apply.

To Apply:

Interested scientists should compile their application documents into a single PDF file, which must include:

Curriculum vitae, including the list of publications.
A detailed proposed research project (max 2 pages).
The desired duration of the stay.
The specific research groups or individuals at MPI MiS with whom collaboration is sought.
Names and contact information of at least one and up to three referees who are willing to provide reference letters.

Please send your complete application via email to application@mis.mpg.de with the subject line: "Application Visiting Scientist".

The deadline for applications is December 15, 2025. However, applications outside of the usual cycle will also be considered on an ongoing basis, depending on available capacity and funding. We particularly encourage applications from women and members of groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.

We are not accepting applications for this job through MathJobs.Org right now. Please see the job description above on how to apply.
