Deadline: 14 dec 2012

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Muenster (Germany) seeks applications for a Junior Professorship (W1) for Probability available from 1 April 2013. The temporary position is granted for three years with the possibility of a prolongation by further three years. Candidates are expected to have a strong research record in an active field of probability. Preferred research areas are for example the analysis of complex networks, branching or Lévy processes. Good links to the research priorities of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and, in general, to the Mathematical Institutes (e.g. SFB 878 "Groups, Geometry & Actions") are mandatory. Applicants are expected to have a university degree and to show strong teaching ability. Further the appointee is supposed to have special qualifications for academic work, which is usually demonstrated by an outstanding PhD within the last five years.

The University of Muenster places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for female scientists and Scholars. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply. Disabled persons with equivalent aptitude for the position will be favoured. Applications with the usual documents (curriculum vitae, list of publications, list of courses, presentation of the scientific career, research agenda) in a single pdf file due by 14122012 at mathdek@wwu.de. If you have further inquiries, please contact Prof Steffen Dereich (steffen.dereich@uni-muenster.de).
