Full Professorship in Mathematics Bridging the Gaps Chair

The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Cluster of Excellence, Mathematics Münster: Dynamics – Geometry – Structure, at the University of Münster, Germany, invite applications for a Full Professorship in Mathematics Bridging the Gaps (Chair, Salary level W3). This professorship has been established within the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster and the framework of the German Excellence Strategy. We are seeking a mathematician with an exceptional international research profile whose work bridges different areas of mathematics through a focus on applied mathematics. The research should align with the objectives of our Cluster of Excellence and the Centre for Mathematics Münster. We particularly encourage applications from researchers working at the intersection of mathematical fields that are well-established in Münster, in particular: numerical analysis PDEs SPDEs optimisation and calculus of variations probability theory functional analysis topology and geometry or those whose expertise complements these existing local strengths. Research areas at these interfaces may include, but are not limited to, scientific machine learning and data analytics. In addition to a fundamental role within the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, the professorship will have a vital role within the applied mathematics institutes and their teaching programmes. With this chair, the department also plans to strengthen the decisive role of mathematics in the University of Münster’s new Centre for Data Science and Complexity and the newly established master’s degree programme in data science. A visible role in intra- and interdisciplinary cooperations and collaborations with existing and planned third-party funded projects and research centres is expected. Qualifications Prerequisites for the application are: a doctoral degree in mathematics or a related field an outstanding international research profile corresponding teaching experience In addition, we expect academic achievements made as a: Juniorprofessor (assistant professor) in a Habilitation (postdoctoral qualification) as a member of the academic staff of a university or non-university research institute or in a research position in business, administration or other relevant field in Germany or abroad The University of Münster strongly supports equal opportunity and diversity.
