2-year Postdoc positions and one PhD position at the RWTH Aachen University

 [expired]

Job openings to bring to the attention of potential candidates:

  • two 2-year Postdoc positions
  • one PhD position 

available at the RWTH Aachen University, starting June 2019, or within  6 months thereafter.

These are mostly research positions, with a  teaching load consisting of exercise sections for undergraduate courses.

For the Postdoc positions, candidates are expected to conduct research  in Symplectic/Contact Topology and/or Symplectic Dynamics, or Systolic Geometry.

The successful candidate for the PhD position will conduct research in  Symplectic Dynamics, comprising the use of methods from Symplectic  Geometry/Topology to study the global structure of Hamiltonian  systems. Among such methods we emphasize Floer Theory and Symplectic  Field Theory.
