[DMANET] PhD and postdoc positions in Osnabrück, Germany

The DFG Graduate School "Combinatorial Structures in Geometry" at the
University of Osnabrueck invites applications for

8 positions for PhD candidates and
2 postdoctoral positions.

The starting date for these positions is October 1st, 2013. All
positions are
within the TV-L E13 German public sector pay scale. The PhD positions are
offered at a 75% base, the contracts are given for 1 year and are
extended to
3 years after a successful evaluation at the end of the first year. The
postdoctoral positions are offered at a 100% base and the contracts are
given
for 2 years, with the option of an extension by another 2.5 years.

The central research idea behind the Graduate School concerns the
interaction
of combinatorics and geometry, and collaborations between researchers from
different disciplines, such as commutative algebra, combinatorial
optimization,
harmonic analysis, homotopy theory, K-theory, and stochastic geometry.
The research program is based on associated projects which can be found at
http://www.mathematik.uni-osnabrueck.de/graduiertenkolleg


Applicants for the PhD positions should hold an excellent master/diploma
degree in mathematics or computer science. Good English language skills are
mandatory. PhD candidates should finish their dissertation within the time
frame of 3 years. Requirements for the postdoctoral positions are an
excellent
PhD in one of the mentioned areas.

The University of Osnabrueck aims at increasing the proportion of female
employees in the involved departments substantially. Therefore applications
from women are particularly welcome, and will be treated with preference
subject to equal qualification. The same applies to qualified disabled
people.

Applications should include the relevant documents (curriculum vitae,
list of
publications if available, certificates of academic qualifications), a
reference letter written by a professor and an accompanying statement
mentioning one or several research projects the applicant wants to work on.

Applications should be sent via email in PDF format to
Prof. Dr. Matthias Reitzner: gkmath@uni-osnabrueck.de, by July 28th, 2013.
