[Opt-Net] Leader of a Junior Research Group at the University of Wuerzburg, Germany

[Christian Kanzow]

The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of  
Würzburg invites applications for the position of a

Leader of a Junior Research Group

starting October 1, 2017 (or as soon as possible thereafter) for a  
maximum of 5 years. The research group consists of the leader, a  
postdoc, and a PhD position (50%). Payment will be according to scale  
E14 of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service of German  
Federal States (TV-L). We are looking for an excellent young  
researcher from one of the following two areas:

Discrete Optimization Strategies for Applications

or

Computational Sciences – Algorithms for Applications in the Natural  
and Life Sciences
(efficient implementation of mathematical models from the natural and  
life sciences on high-performance computers).

The research group is expected to strengthen the links between the  
Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Computer Science.  
Experience with interdisciplinary research cooperations (e.g., in  
biology, medicine, or physics) is a plus. The position comes with mild  
teaching duties (5 contact hours per week) within the B.Sc. and M.Sc.  
programs of the Faculty. The group leader is expected to hold a PhD  
(or an equivalent degree) with very good grades, a strong publication  
record, and experience in an international research environment.

The University of Würzburg is an equal opportunity employer. As such,  
we explicitly encourage applications from women. Applications from  
disabled persons with essentially the same qualifications will be  
given preference.

Please submit your application by May 31, 2017 with the usual  
documents (CV, certificates, list of publications, list of modules  
taught) and a short research proposal (including state of the art,  
potential research links to the Faculty and the University, research  
plan, milestones) as pdf files via

go.uniwue.de/researchgroup-mi

Further information will be requested in the submission process. Don’t  
hesitate to contact the faculty manager, Dr. Richard Greiner (e-mail  
greiner at mathematik.uni-wuerzburg.de, phone +49 931 31-85029).
