(Apologies for any cross-posting.)
One PhD and one Postdoc position are available at the TU Wien (Vienna,
Austria), starting in Autumn 2026.
Application Deadline: April 30, 2026
Project Website: https://dmg.tuwien.ac.at/mwallner/unpac/
-------------------
Project Description
-------------------
These positions are part of the FWF-funded ASTRA project "Universal
Phenomena in Analytic Combinatorics" (UNPAC). The project bridges
Analytic, Probabilistic, and Combinatorial approaches to discrete
mathematics. It aims to uncover and utilize universal and unconventional
asymptotic phenomena of large discrete structures appearing in
combinatorics, computer science, and biology.
We are looking for candidates interested in working on one or more of
the following aspects of lattice paths, graph structures, or bivariate
recurrences:
*) Analytic: Asymptotics of lattice paths in one and higher dimensions,
bivariate recurrences, generating functions, and unconventional
asymptotics (e.g., stretched exponentials).
*) Probabilistic: Limit laws, phase transitions, and random structures.
*) Combinatorial: Bijections, graph structures, and modeling
applications ranging from phylogenetic networks (biology) to protocol
encapsulation (computer science).
---------
The Offer
---------
*) Environment: A strong and active research group in Discrete
Mathematics at TU Wien.
*) Salary: Fully funded positions based on the standard FWF personnel
costs (competitive salary, health insurance, and social benefits included).
*) Location: Vienna is consistently ranked as one of the most livable
cities in the world.

I would be most grateful if you could forward this message to interested
candidates.
Best wishes,
