The intention of the newly founded Collaborative Research Centre (CRC TRR) 358 „Integral structures in geometry and representation theory“ - funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and based at Bielefeld, Paderborn and Bonn - is to establish an internationally visible centre of mathematical research in the region of East Westphalia. The CRC pursues a broad research program in the fields of algebraic combinatorics, automorphic forms, arithmetic and complex algebraic geometry, cat-egorical representation theory, geometric group theory, harmonic analysis on locally symmetric spaces and theory of affine buildings.

The CRC TRR 358 will create an attractive research environment with many guests, seminars and workshops and offers extensive funds for business trips.

In the context of subproject A2, the following position is available at the Institute of Mathematics, part of the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics at the earliest pos-sible opportunity:

Research Associate (f/m/d) (salary is according to E 13 TV-L)

with 75% of the regular working hours. The temporary position is limited until 31st of December 2026 due to third-party funding within the meaning of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (Wis-sZeitVG). The duration of the fixed term corresponds to the approved project period at the University of Paderborn.

Your Tasks: • Scientific collaboration in the subproject A2 " Algebraic and arithmetic aspects of aperiodicity” • Active participation in project-internal activities of the CRC and the working group „Computer algebra and number theory” • Participation in general work of CRC TRR 358, planning and support of general joint CRC ac-tivities

Your profile: • Very good scientific university degree (master’s degree) in mathematics • Good skills of spoken and written English • Knowledge in number theory

Since Paderborn University seeks to increase the number of female scientists, applications of female are especially welcome. In case of equal qualification and scientific achievements, they will receive preferential treatment according to the North Rhine-Westphalian Equal Opportunities Policy (LGG), unless there are cogent reasons to give preference to another applicant. Likewise, applications of disabled people with appropriate qualification are explicitly requested. This also applies to people with equal status according to the German social law SGB IX.
