Post-doc positions in Geometric Partial Differential Equations, University of Vienna

created by semola on 22 Oct 2025

Deadline: 30 nov 2025

A number of full-time pure-research postdoctoral positions in the area of geometric partial differential equations are available at the University of Vienna through grants of the Austrian Science Fund to the principal investigators (PIs) Michael Eichmair, Thomas Körber, and Daniele Semola.

These grants are:
-Isoperimetry in mathematical relativity (PI Michael Eichmair),
-Applications of minimal surface techniques in geometry (PI Thomas Körber),
-Optimal inequalities in geometry and relativity (PI Thomas Körber),
-Geometric Analysis under lower Ricci Curvature bounds (PI Daniele Semola).

The initial appointment of these positions is for one year with the possibility of extension by another two or three years. The working language of the research groups is English.

Applicants should indicate clearly in their cover letters how their previous works and qualifications connect to the recent works of one or more of the PIs and the topics of their grants. The selection of the candidates will be based on fit with the research interests of the PIs and research excellence. Successful candidates are expected to contribute to these grants and the research group on geometric partial differential equations headed by the PIs at the University of Vienna. The gross annual income for these positions is ca. 70,000 EUR, which enables a very comfortable lifestyle in Vienna, arguably the most liveable city in the world.

Paid teaching opportunities at the Faculty of Mathematics can be arranged if desired by the candidates.
