Up to four pre-doc positions financed via the VSM
Job Description:
The announcement comprises up to four PhD positions financed by the University of Vienna via the VSM (Vienna School
of Mathematics). We are looking for
independent scientists with a strong interest in research. For the purpose of this announcement, the VSM has asked
its supervisors to submit proposals for directions for PhD projects, the collected suggestions are listed below.
The aim for filling the up to four announced positions is to find excellent combinations of candidates and projects.
Therefore, an application is only possible for specific projects from that list. Each candidate is allowed to apply
for at most three of the projects. Responsibilities include participation in the research activities, the independent
teaching of courses (holding classes due to extent regulations of wage agreement) and conducting of examinations as
well as participation in teaching evaluations and in administrative tasks.
We expect the successful candidate to sign a doctoral thesis agreement within 12-13 months, to become a member of the VSM and to actively participate in
its activities and its administration. Each of the announced positions is planned to be for 4 years; the initial employment
duration will be 1.5 years and the employment will automatically be extended to a duration of 4 years unless the
employer issues a non-extension notice within the first 12 months of the employment.
The envisaged employment date is October 1, 2023, in special cases earlier starting may be possible. The master study has to be completed before the beginning of the employment, this must be conceivable at the time of the application.
Profile:
Diploma or master degree in mathematics, high level of competence in the area of mathematics appropriate for the
chosen project(s). Excellent command of written and spoken English.
The application documents should contain:
- letter of intent that also explains the choice of project(s)
- scientific CV with publication list if relevant
- higher education certificates, diplomas
- Two letters of recommendation have to be sent directly by the recommenders to office@vsmath.at before the application deadline.
Applicants will not be entitled to any refund of expenses incurred because of the application process.
Applications:
We are looking foward to getting your application via the application portal by April 21, 2023.
In order to access the application portal, you need to create a u:account (please find further information on that here).
