The cluster of excellence
Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (
HCM) at
the
University of Bonn brings together researchers in mathematics and its
applications, including in particular quantitative economics. In this framework
the center is looking forward to filling
up to four
W2-Professorships in all fields of mathematics or
quantitative economics
(“Bonn Junior Fellows“)
These are temporary positions for a period of five years. To some of these positions,
a tenure-track option is associated and, in exceptional cases, immediate
tenure might be offered.
The professorships intend to encourage independent research by outstanding
young researchers. The professorships are endowed with travel and guest
funds and a 3-year postdoc position. Being members of the HCM, Bonn Junior
Fellows are eligible to further scientific and financial support. Bonn Junior
Fellows are encouraged to supervise doctoral students.
The candidates
We are looking for young researchers holding a doctoral degree who are
developing their own research agenda and already demonstrated scientific independence
by relevant publications. International research experience and contributions
to our advanced teaching program are expected, German language
skills are not required.
Research focus
We seek candidates fitting into the broad research spectrum of the HCM
(
http://www.hcm.uni-bonn.de/research-program/),there by completing existing expertise.
Depending on the respective research focus, candidates become members of
the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences or of the Faculty of Law and
Economics at the University of Bonn.
