The position comes with no official teaching duties, but the possibility to teach specialized courses can be made available, if desired. Knowledge of German language is not required.

The successful candidate will be expected to address questions in the area of Macdonald-Cherednik theory and spherical harmonic analysis of affine buildings. The research project will be led in close collaboration by Margit Rösler and Joachim Hilgert (both Paderborn University), and Kai-Uwe Bux (Bielefeld University). For more details on the proposed research project, see

Candidates with a background in special functions associated with root systems and/or harmonic analysis on buildings or reductive symmetric spaces are strongly encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will also benefit from an active research environment with seminars and conferences within the recently created Collaborative Research Center (CRC) in "Integral structures in Geometry and Representation theory” (funded by the German Research Foundation DFG), as well as generous funding for traveling, guests, and the organization of workshops and conferences.
