VACANCY FOR PHD-STUDENT AT LMU MUNICH

There is an opening for a scientific employee (TV-L E13, 75%, fixed
term) at the Mathematics Department at the University of Munich to join
our research group in Probability Theory.

We are looking for a talented and motivated Ph.D. candidate to carry out
a research project on scale-free percolation. The project is at the edge
between percolation theory and complex networks.
We require an excellent MSc degree in Mathematics (or similar) with
profound knowledge of Probability Theory. Experience in percolation
theory or random graph theory, documented through a master thesis on a
relevant topic, is appreciated.

The LMU Munich is one of the largest and most renowned universities in
Germany.
The Mathematics Department is located in the city center of Munich.

Initial appointment is for one year, and it will be prolongated for two
more years upon a positive evaluation at the end of the first year.
Intended starting date is early January 2018; agreement on a later
starting date is possible.

Interested candidates are invited to submit applications (in English or
German) containing curriculum vitae, copies of relevant certificates, as
well as name and contact details of three academic referees preferably
by email to <m.heydenreich@lmu.de <mailto:m.heydenreich@lmu.de>> as one
single pdf. Please attach also a copy of the master thesis.
Applications received until November 7, 2017 will be fully considered;
the hiring procedure continues until the position is filled.

The university is an equal opportunity employer. Handicapped applicants
will be given preference in the case of approximately equal qualifications.

Please contact me directly for further questions.
