Junior Professor (W1) Mathematics of Uncertainty Quantification (with 
Tenure Track W2)

at RWTH Aachen University, Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and 
Natural Sciences

We are seeking qualified applicants for teaching and research in the 
area of mathematics related to Uncertainty Quantification. The starting 
date is as soon as possible. Candidates are expected to have a visible 
research agenda and distinguished expertise in Uncertainty 
Quantification with strong competency in at least one of the areas: 
mathematical and numerical analysis of stochastic problems, statistics, 
applied probability theory or *optimization*. Particular expertise on 
data assimilation, molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics, conservation 
laws and a posteriori error analysis for stochastic problems will be 
specially valued. This position is affiliated with the Chair of 
Uncertainty Quantification and the Department of Mathematics. The 
successful candidate should on the one hand initiate and develop 
interdisciplinary collaborations with other research groups at RWTH, in 
particular, engineering and natural sciences. On the other hand, he/she 
is expected to further develop the methodological activities within the 
Chair of Uncertainty Quantification.

You should have a completed university degree and a special aptitude for 
scientific work which is generally verified by means of an outstanding 
doctorate. Ability in and commitment to teaching are essential. The 
application should include supporting documents regarding success in 
teaching. German is not necessary to begin but will be expected as a 
teaching language within 5 years.

Please send a cover letter stating research aims and a CV to:

Dekan der Fakultät für Mathematik, Informatik und Naturwissenschaften 
der RWTH Aachen University,
Prof. Dr. Stefan Schael,
52056 Aachen, Germany.

You can also send your application via email to 
dekan at fb1.rwth-aachen.de. Please note, however, that communication via 
unencrypted e-mail poses a threat to confidentiality as it is 
potentially vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties.

The deadline for applications is 21 September 2018.

This position is also available as part-time employment per request. 
RWTH Aachen University is certified as a family-friendly university and 
offers a dual career program for partner hiring. We particularly welcome 
and encourage applications from women, disabled people and ethnic 
minority groups, recognizing they are underrepresented across RWTH 
Aachen University. The principles of fair and open competition apply and 
appointments will be made on merit.
