Research Associate

The intention of the newly founded Collaborative Research Centre (CRC TRR) 358 „Integral structures in geometry and representation theory“ - funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and based at Bielefeld, Paderborn and Bonn - is to establish an internationally visible centre of mathemat-ical research in the region of East Westphalia. The CRC pursues a broad research program in the fields of algebraic combinatorics, automorphic forms, arithmetic and complex algebraic geometry, cat-egorical representation theory, geometric group theory, harmonic analysis on locally symmetric spaces and theory of affine buildings. The CRC TRR 358 will create an attractive research environment with many guests, seminars and workshops and offers extensive funds for business trips. In the context of subproject A3, the following position is available at the Institute of Mathematics, part of the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics at the earliest pos-sible opportunity: **Research Associate (f/m/d)** (salary is according to E 13 TV-L) with 75% of regular working hours. This is a qualification position in the sense of the Wissen-schaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG), which serves to promote a doctoral procedure in the field of discrete mathematics/ combinatorics. The position is to be filled for a limited period of time for the duration of the doctoral process, depending on the qualification achieved so far, but usually for a period of 3 years. An extension for the completion of the doctorate is possible within the time limits of the WissZeitVG. Your Tasks: - Scientific collaboration in subproject A3 "Codes and Designs", in particular research in the field of algebraic combinatorics - Active participation in project-internal activities of the CRC and the working group „Discrete mathematics “ - Participation in general work of CRC TRR 358, planning and support of general joint CRC ac-tivities Your profile: - Very good scientific university degree (master’s degree) - Good skills of spoken and written English
