Assistant/Associate Professor of Mathematical Physics

Would you like to explore the frontier of mathematical physics where gravity meets geometry and analysis? Then you have a part to play as an assistant/associate professor in mathematical relativity. We offer you the opportunity to explore an exciting area of research at the interface between mathematics and physics, working in a unique interdisciplinary research institute for mathematics and (astro)physics where gravity is a central theme. You will make your mark not only in scientific research, but also in the teaching of mathematics and mathematical physics in general.
We are looking for a mathematician working in the area of mathematical general relativity. This position will expand our young initiative in mathematical relativity, which is part of the Mathematical Physics research group. This group has traditionally specialised in quantum (field) theory, non-commutative geometry and operator algebras, and foundations of quantum physics and general relativity, which is led by Klaas Landsman and Walter van Suijlekom as full professors and also includes Annegret Burtscher, Peter Hochs, and Michael Müger. Within the Mathematics Department, this group is also closely connected to research in both applied mathematics, especially on partial differential equations (PDEs), and pure mathematics with a focus on analysis and geometry. You will also strengthen the increasing concentration of our umbrella institute (IMAPP) on gravity as a key research theme, particularly on black holes (including the Event Horizon Telescope), gravitational waves (with links to both current and future detection technology such as the Einstein Telescope), and quantum gravity. Women and members of other groups underrepresented in science are especially encouraged to apply.
