Bonn Junior Fellowships (temporary W2 professorships) in Mathematics, Bonn (Germany), Deadline: 15 Oct 2012

The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the University of Bonn brings 
together researchers in Theoretical and Applied Mathematics, and 
Mathematical Economics. In this framework, the center is looking forward 
to filling several W2-Professorships ("Bonn Junior Fellows") within the 
next few years. These positions are temporary for a period of five years. 
To some of these positions, a tenure-track option is associated, and, in 
exceptional cases, a position may be tenured immediately.

The University of Bonn is an equal opportunity employer and is committed 
to increasing the number of female professors in disciplines where they 
are underrepresented, in particular on tenured positions. Therefore, it is 
intended to fill about half of the positions offered with women, and 
preference will be given to suitably qualified female candidates, all 
other considerations being equal. Women are strongly encouraged to apply. 
Preference will be given to severely disabled applicants with equivalent 
qualifications.

The professorships.

The professorships intend to encourage independent research by outstanding 
young researchers, in analogy to the research groups of the 
"Max-Planck-Society" or the "Emmy-Noether-Program" of the German Research 
Foundation. The professorships are endowed with travel and guest funds, 
and with a postdoc position during the initial period. Bonn Junior Fellows 
also participate in the additional resources of the Hausdorff Center. 
Professors are encouraged to supervise doctoral students. For an initial 
period, teaching obligations amount to four hours per week during 
semesters.

The candidates.

We are looking for young researchers holding a doctoral degree who are 
about to develop their own research agenda and who have already 
demonstrated their scientific independence by relevant publications. 
Candidates should have some international research experience. German 
language skills are not required.

Research focus.

We seek candidates who fit into the broad spectrum of the Cluster of 
Excellence. Depending on the respective research focus, candidates become 
members of the "Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences" or of the 
"Faculty of Law and Economics" at the University of Bonn.

Not all positions will be assigned at the same time; there will be several 
separate selection rounds.

The deadline for the first application round is 15th October 2012. 
Deadlines for the following rounds, and further details, will be published 
at www.hcm.uni-bonn.de/opportunities/bonn-junior-fellows.

Applications should be sent, using our online application form
