==============================

TUM is the first university in Germany to reinforce its recruitment
policy by a comprehensive tenure track system. Based on best
international standards and transparent performance criteria, TUM
FACULTY TENURE TRACK offers merit-based academic career options for

Mathematics« Initially pay-scale grade W2, to be appointed as soon as
possible.

We are looking for an excellent junior scientist with a high potential

field of Discrete Mathematics. The successful candidate is expected to
conduct research and teaching in areas of special interest such as
Combinatorial Optimization and Algorithmic Graph Theory. However, strong
candidates in other fields of Discrete Mathematics and its applications
are also encouraged to apply.

The initial appointment will be for 6 years. After positive evaluation
in the final year, the candidate is tenured on an Associate Professor
level. In exceptional cases, the tenure evaluation may be initiated
after a minimum of three years. Such cases will have to be justified by
outstanding achievements of the candidate and when the candidate
contributes to strategically shaping the university’s profile. The

Eligible candidates have established a strong track record in the
postdoctoral phase, and demonstrate pedagogical and personal aptitude as
well as substantial international experience. Family leave will be taken
into consideration.

develop an independent and vigorous research program. Furthermore,
candidates should be committed to excellence in undergraduate/graduate
teaching and in supervising PhD students. Teaching assignments include
