The German–Korean International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2235 “Searching for the regular in the irregular: Analysis of singular and random systems” funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), offers several PhD positions at Bielefeld University, starting October 1st, 2018.
The IRTG is a joint research program established by the Faculty of Mathematics at Bielefeld University, Germany, and the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Seoul National University, South Korea. In a truly international and competitive environment, doctoral students will study singular and random systems.
The IRTG concentrates on advanced techniques from the mathematical field of Analysis together with latest developments in neighboring fields such as Mathematical Physics, Geometry, and Probability Theory. The focus will be on the mathematical analysis of problems which generically exhibit singular features or randomness. The topics include nonlinear wave equations, integrodifferential equations, oscillator models, random matrices, generalized Dirichlet and magnetic energy forms, analysis on manifolds and fractal metric spaces. The IRTG offers a structured course program in English and a six-months research stay at Seoul National University.
Your Profile
We expect
- an excellent Master degree (or an equivalent degree) in Mathematics, Mathematical Physics or a neighboring field
- good communication skills
- proficiency in English
Remuneration
Salary will be paid according to Remuneration level 13 (part-time 75%) of the Wage Agreement for Public Service in the Federal States (TV-L) (depending on previous professional experience starting at approx. 1600 € monthly net income). As stipulated in §2 (1) sentence 2 of the WissZeitVG (fixed-term employment), the contract ends after a period of three years. In accordance with the provisions of the WissZeitVG and the Agreement on Satisfactory Conditions of Employment, the length of contract may differ in individual cases. The employment is designed to encourage further academic qualification. The positions are advertised as 75% part-time jobs. In individual cases, this percentage may be reduced on request, as long as this does not conflict with official needs.
Bielefeld University is particularly committed to the career development and equal opportunities of its employees. It offers attractive internal and external training and further training programs. Employees have the opportunity to use a variety of health, counselling, and prevention programs. Bielefeld University places great importance on a work-family balance for all its employees.
