The teaching load is typically two quarter (half-semester) courses per year of which one usually is as a teaching assistant.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences   has strong research groups  in many areas of mathematics, and has an active postdoc and visitors' programme; we refer to our homepage for more information.

Applicants in all areas of Mathematics covered by the research groups of the department will be considered. In particular there will be postdoc stipends in the following specific areas/centers of the Department:

• 
  Algebraic and arithmetic geometry, combinatorics, geometry and geometric analysis, Lie theory, representation theory, number theory, and topology, as covered by the Section for Algebra & Geometry and the Copenhagen Center for Geometry & Topology (GeoTop) .
  
• 
  Functional analysis, operator algebras, descriptive set theory, harmonic and classical analysis, history of mathematics, mathematical physics, random matrix theory, partial differential equations, quantum information and quantum computing, as covered by the section Analysis and Quantum , the Center for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH) , the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum for Life Center, and the DFF project Operator Algebras, Groups and Quantum Spaces.
  

Procedures and application deadline:

Very important:  In addition to submitting your application here through MathJobs you must also submit it via the University of Copenhagen recruiting system.

The link to the University of Copenhagen recruitment system will be mailed to you after submitting your MathJobs application.

Both applications must be submitted at latest November 15, 2021, midnight local time (11:59 p.m. CET) . By university regulations, applications received thereafter cannot be considered.

We expect to send invitations for interviews in December 2021 or January 2022. The interviews will typically take place in January or February of 2022, and our search is expected to be concluded around April. The standard starting date is October 1st, 2022.
