Four temporary full professorships in mathematics as "Bonn Junior Fellows", Bonn (Germany), Deadline: 11 Oct 2014

UNIVERSITÄT BONN - W2 Vier Stellen - Bonn Junior Fellows - Frist: 
11.10.2014

The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) 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 up to four W2-Professorships ("Bonn Junior Fellows") within the 
next few years. These are temporary positions 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 increase the 
number of female professors in disciplines where they are 
underrepresented, in particular on tenured positions. It is therefore 
intended to fill about half of the positions offered with women. Women are 
strongly encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to suitably 
qualified women or persons with disabilities, all other considerations 
being equal. The general conditions of employment are according to Par. 36 
of the Higher Education Act of North Rhine-Westphalia (Hochschulgesetz des 
Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen). 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 third application round is 11th October 2014. 
Expected starting date is not later than 1st October 2015. 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 
www.hcm.uni-bonn.de/bjf/application, to the joint hiring committee: Prof. 
Dr. Karl-Theodor Sturm, Coordinator Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, 
Endenicher Allee 62, D-53115 Bonn, Germany.
