[DMANET] PhD Position in Discrete Geometry

The Discrete Geometry group at Goethe University Frankfurt, led by Prof. Dr.
Raman Sanyal, is looking for a PhD student (m/f/d) to join our research project
"Combinatorial Polytope Theory" (COMPOTE). This is a 3-year position (E13 TV-L,
75%), starting June 1, 2025 (negotiable, but no later than September 1, 2025).
COMPOTE is a Spanish-German collaboration funded by Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and Agencia Estatal de investigación (AEI),
focusing on the combinatorics of polytopes. The successful candidate will work
closely with Prof. Arnau Padrol (Universitat de Barcelona) and will have
opportunities for research visits to Barcelona. More details can be found
here https://www.ub.edu/comb/compote

Requirements
• Master's degree (or equivalent) in mathematics or a closely related field
• Background (or strong motivation to learn) in geometric combinatorics
(polytopes, polyhedral subdivisions, oriented matroids)
• Interest in computer-aided exploration is a plus
• Good English skills (written & spoken)
• Independent work style & ability to collaborate in a team

We Offer
• A funded 3-year PhD position (E13 TV-L, 75%) including the usual benefits of a
position in the German public sector (e.g., health insurance, pension
contributions, and social security)
• A dynamic and collaborative research environment
• Opportunities for international collaboration and research visits

Application Process
To apply, send a single PDF file containing:
• Cover letter
• CV
• Copies of relevant degrees/certificates (Abitur, Bachelor, Master)
• A short (max. 1 page) summary of your thesis topic and results (incl.
advisor's name)
Send applications to Prof. Dr. Raman Sanyal (sanyal@math.uni-frankfurt.de)

Deadline: March 18, 2025

We look forward to your application!
