8 W2-Professors ('Bonn Junior Fellows') at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics

The Excellence Cluster "Mathematics: Foundations, Models, Applications" at the University of Bonn brings together researchers in Theoretical and Applied Mathematics, and Mathematical Economics. The cluster looks forward to fill 8 W2-Professors ("Bonn Junior Fellows") within the next few years. These temporary positions are limited to a period of five years.

The professorships intend to encourage independent research by outstanding young researchers. The professorships are endowed with a budget for travel and for inviting guests, and with a post-doc position. Professors are encouraged to supervise doctoral students. Teaching obligations amount to four hours per week during semesters. If desired, teaching can be limited to the graduate program. Depending on the respective research focus, candidates become members of the "Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences", or of the "Faculty of Law and Economics" at the University of Bonn.

As not all positions will be assigned at the same time, there will be several separate selection rounds. The application deadline for the first round is February 28th, 2007. Deadlines for the following rounds, and further details will be published at http://www.hausdorff-center.uni-bonn.de/.
