The Applied Functional Analysis Group at the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Technische Universität Ilmenau (Germany), is offering a PostDoc position focused on functional analysis and operator theory. The research areas include applied functional analysis, spectral theory, unbounded/self-adjoint operators, linear relations, and related topics. The group is internationally oriented and maintains strong connections to mathematical analysis, systems theory, and mathematical physics.

The position is for 2 years at 75% employment (EG 13 TV-L), starting 01.04.2026. Responsibilities include conducting independent and collaborative research, targeting high-quality publications, teaching exercise classes (3 hours/week), and participating in examinations. The environment is supportive, with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, especially with control engineering, computer science, and robotics.

Applicants must hold an excellent scientific university degree (Master/Dipl. (Univ.)) and a PhD in mathematics, with a strong background in spectral theory of unbounded operators in Hilbert spaces, perturbation theory, selfadjoint operators, and linear relations. Proficiency in English (B2 level) is required. The university offers attractive remuneration, a special annual payment, 30 days of vacation, additional days off, a VBL pension scheme, flexible working models, and a wide range of training, health, and sports programs. The position is suitable for part-time employment.
