Deadline: 10 dec 2015
There will be (possibly several) PhD positions available in algebraic or arithmetic geometry in Mainz.
At the Mainz branch of the DFG-funded collaborative Research Center SFB-TRR 45 "Periods, Moduli Spaces, and the Arithmetic of Algebraic Varieties" a number of post-doc positions will be available in the near future. We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a strong background in algebraic geometry or an adjacent field. Good communication skills in English or German are desirable as well as a willingness to learn German within the first two years. Teaching duties are minimal with at most 2 contact hours per week. Candidates are expected to conduct research in one of the focus areas of the SFB-TRR 45 which are represented in Mainz. For further information please refer to the webpage www.sfb45.de or contact one of the investigators in Mainz directly: Manuel Blickle, Manfred Lehn, Stefan Müller-Stach, Ariyan Javanpeykar, Duco van Straten, Kang Zuo.
The SFB-TRR45 is a DFG-funded research collective between the Universities Bonn, Essen and Mainz. The main focus is the education and training of young researchers (PhDs and post-docs) in the fields of algebraic and arithmetic geometry. There are numerous activities such as master classes, summer schools, seminars, conferences and doctoral student meetings, and members have other benefits, such as access to travel funds. It provides an ideal environment to further an academic career in algebraic or arithemetic geometry.
The positions are for 3 years (Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L 75\%) with a 6 month
qualification period. Applications should include the following documents:
- Short Letter of intent
- Curriculum Vitae
- Copy of Highschool certificate and University degree
