About this position
A two-year, full-time postdoctoral research position is available in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna, within the research group on geometric calculus of variations and partial differential equations. The position is a pure-research appointment and is associated with grants from the Austrian Science Fund led by Michael Eichmair, Thomas Körber, and Daniele Semola.
The advertised research environment brings together several closely related projects in geometric analysis and differential geometry, including isoperimetry in mathematical relativity, applications of minimal surface techniques in geometry, optimal inequalities in geometry and relativity, and geometric analysis under lower Ricci curvature bounds. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to these grants and to the broader group working on geometric partial differential equations at the University of Vienna.
The research is embedded in an English-speaking group and is focused on advanced topics at the interface of geometry, analysis, and variational methods. The post is designed for a researcher who wants to work closely with a team of principal investigators while pursuing high-level work in the mathematical analysis of geometric problems. Candidates are also encouraged to seek their own third-party funding to extend their research path.
The position offers a strong research setting in Vienna, with the possibility of paid teaching opportunities in the Faculty of Mathematics if desired.
Funding details
Two-year full-time postdoctoral position funded through Austrian Science Fund grants; gross annual income is approximately 70,000 EUR. Paid teaching opportunities may be arranged if desired.
What's required
Applicants should have a strong research background in geometric calculus of variations, partial differential equations, geometric analysis, or closely related areas. The cover letter should clearly explain how previous work and qualifications connect to the recent work of one or more of the principal investigators and the topics of their grants. Selection is based on fit with the PIs' research interests and research excellence. Applications must include a research statement of no more than six pages including bibliography and a statement on the extent of generative AI use in research, as well as a cover letter stating whether generative AI was used in the application and, if so, to what extent.
How to apply
Apply online via the MathJobs posting and upload all required documents before the deadline. Submit a cover letter, CV, research statement, publication list, and arrange for two or more reference letters to be submitted online by the referees. Make sure the application materials include the required statements about generative AI use.
