[DMANET] Junior Professorship (W1) for Discrete-Nonlinear Optimization at TU Darmstadt

The Graduate School of Computational Engineering (CE) and the Department
of Mathematics at Technische Universität Darmstadt invite applications
for a

Junior Professorship (W1) for Discrete-Nonlinear Optimization

in the Department of Mathematics.

Candidates applying for the professorship should have expertise in
discrete or nonlinear optimization and the combination of both in
particular. Thus, applications from the area of discrete optimal control
are also welcome.

The Graduate School CE has been recognized as a center for top-level
research and scientific excellence by the highly competitive "Excellence
Initiative" of the German Federal and State Governments in 2007 and
2012. Within the framework of the Graduate School the TU Darmstadt
intends to further strengthen its expertise in the field of
Computational Engineering and in the area of optimization and numerical
analysis/stochastics in particular. The Graduate School is embedded into
an excellent environment at TU Darmstadt consisting of the Computational
Engineering Research Center, a variety of Research and Research Training
Groups, Collaborative Research Centers and existing BSc/MSc study
programs in Computational Engineering.

The candidates will have excellent opportunities for interaction within
this stimulating, interdisciplinary environment and are expected to
develop a high quality research program. The Graduate School will
support the activities by PhD scholarships related to each position in
order to establish a Junior Research Group.

Participation in graduate level teaching is expected. Teaching languages
are English or German.

Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent qualifications in the above
or related areas. The prerequisites according to § 64 HHG (Hessisches
Hochschulgesetz) apply. The doctorate and the experience as
post-doctoral researcher should not have exceeded a total of 6 years.

The position is initially assigned for three years. Given a positive
evaluation at the end of the initial period, the appointment can be
extended by three more years. A tenure track is not planned. The salary
follows the German W-Besoldung (Hessisches Professorenbesoldungsgesetz -
HPBesG) at level W1.

The Technische Universität Darmstadt intends to increase the number of
female faculty members and encourages female candidates to apply. In
case of equal qualifications applicants with a degree of disability of
at least 50 or equal will be given preference.

Qualified applicants should submit a letter of application, a curriculum
vitae, research records and teaching records to the following address
quoting the given reference number:
