PhD & Postdoctoral Positions, Berlin Mathematics Research Center MATH+, Germany (2019)

The Berlin Mathematics Research Center MATH+ sets out to advance mathematics itself and its interdisciplinary power with the aim of achieving progress on grand challenges in a wide variety of application fields. MATH+ is funded as a Cluster of Excellence through the German Excellence Strategy, building on the solid existing network of mathematics in Berlin: The Research Center MATHEON, the Einstein Center for Mathematics ECMath, and the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS).

MATH+ will start with nine major units for project-oriented research in application-oriented mathematics: four application areas and five emerging fields, including life and material sciences, energy and network research, data science as well as the humanities and social sciences. The aim is to boost not only scientific progress, but also technological innovation and the comprehensive understanding of social processes. These Research Units are complemented by Transfer Units designed for translational research.

MATH+ will be based on the active and close collaboration of researchers at the mathematics institutes of the universities Freie Universität Berlin (FU), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), and Technische Universität Berlin (HU), as well as at the non-university institutes Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) and Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB), together with leading specialists and research institutions from diverse application fields in the Berlin area. Integral to the MATH+ mission will be the research training and education of talented young researchers for career paths both inside and outside academia, a special focus on gender and diversity, as well as the transfer of knowledge to industry and to society at large.

Located closely together in the south-west of Berlin, MATH+ partner institutions FU Berlin und ZIB offer several PhD and Postdoc positions as two- and three-year contracts (starting 01.01.2019) at full-time or 75% with salary based on the German TV-L E13 scale.
