[DMANET] postdoc position in Berlin

The Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg)

METHODS FOR DISCRETE STRUCTURES
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/MDS/

funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) at the three Berlin
Universities will in 2010 offer

one POSTDOC POSITION (BAT IIa)

starting April 2010 or later, for one year (possibly extendible).
We will review applications after January 15.

The salary for this position on the official German BAT IIa
salary scale depends on age, marital status, children, etc.

The scientific program of the MDS program treats combinatorics and
discrete mathematics broadly,
with an emphasis on diverse mathematical methods, such as

Geometric Methods
Algorithmic Methods
Graph Methods
Topological Methods
Enumeration Methods
Probabilistic Methods.

The MDS program is a joint initiative of scientists at the three major

Berlin universities,

Freie Universität Berlin (FU),
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), and
Technische Universität Berlin (TU).

Its faculty consists of

Prof. Susanne Albers (HU),
Prof. Martin Aigner (FU),
Prof. Helmut Alt (FU),
Prof. Stefan Felsner (TU),
Prof. Martin Grötschel (TU/ZIB, associated),
Prof. Martin Grohe (HU),
Prof. Rolf Möhring (TU),
Prof. Günter Rote (FU),
Prof. Tibor Szabo (FU),
Prof. Martin Skutella (TU), and
Prof. Günter M. Ziegler (TU, coordinator)

as well as adjoint and junior faculty.

The MDS course program consists of the Monday Afternoon Colloquium
lectures, block courses, summer schools,
regular predoc programs, etc. - all this in a very lively Berlin
discrete mathematics context,
which also includes the DFG Research Center MATHEON
(http://www.matheon.de).

The RTG "Methods for Discrete Structures" is also a registered unit
for the "Phase II" part of
BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL (http://www.math-berlin.de),
the joint international graduate program of the three major Berlin
universities.

Applicants, consisting of

- letter of application
- curriculum vitae
- Ph.D. thesis (preliminary version, if not finished)
- research proposal
- leter of reference by thesis advisor, and possibly an additional letter
(to be sent directly to us)

should be directed to

Prof. Günter M. Ziegler, Coordinator
RTG "Methods for Discrete Structures"
Inst. Mathematics, MA 6-2
TU Berlin
D-10623 Berlin, Germany
