[DMANET] PhD/Postdoc position at TU Berlin

Institute of Mathematics
Technische Universität Berlin

PhD/Postdoc position in Discrete Mathematics
Research Assistant (75% TV-L 13)
for 36 months

A PhD or Postdoc position is available in the "Discrete Mathematics
Group" at TU Berlin, supported by the newly established DFG-NCN
project "Order and Geometry". This is a joint project between the
groups of Stefan Felsner in Berlin and the group of Piotr Micek in
Krakow. The research within the project ranges from coloring problems
to encodings mostly in relation to graphs and orders defined in a
geometric setting. For a more detailed description see
(page.math.tu-berlin.de/~felsner/o+g-short.pdf).

Candidates should have an excellent academic degree in mathematics,
computer science or a related area, and must have very good knowledge
in discrete mathematics. Communication skills and solid English
writing skills are expected. Special knowledge in combinatorial geometry or
combinatorics of partially ordered sets are desirable.

Besides its many cultural attractions, Berlin offers a strong
scientific landscape including three major universities, the MATH+
cluster promoted by the German Excellence Initiative, and the DFG
research training group "Facets of Complexity" these offer
opportunities for joint research and support for PhD students and
postdocs (e.g., meetings, lecture series, summer schools etc.).

Applicants should send their application as *a single pdf* file containing:
- cover and motivation letter
- curriculum vitae
- copies of diplomas
- summary of thesis (max. 2 pages)
- names and contact details of one or two referees (including thesis advisor)
