Your responsibilities
Duties primarily include teaching and research. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.
The collaborative research center “Higher structures, moduli spaces and integrability” is a joint initiative of the departments of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Hamburg, DESY Hamburg, and the Technical University of Munich.
As a research associate within the center you will be part of a vibrant and focused research environment in the three core areas "higher structures and (topological) quantum field theories", "integrability of non-perturbative effects in quantum field and string theories" and "deformations and asymptotics of moduli spaces".
Your duties will include academic services within the project along with a teaching load of 4 LVS (hours per week) during term time. In particular, research associates will be expected to actively organise and participate in the scientific events of the collaborative research center.
In your application, please indicate PIs with whom you see possibilities for collaboration, see https://www.sfb1624.uni-hamburg.de/ for details.
We especially encourage interested female scientists to apply. In addition to university-wide measures improving work-life balance, the collaborative research center includes a variety of equal opportunity initiatives, such as a special exchange and visiting program for female scientists to support scientific exchange and network building.
Research associates will become members of the Research School of the collaborative research center. The Research School provides academic and soft skills training, as well as career planning support. In addition, the collaborative research center will provide individual budgets to enable the attendance of summer schools and conferences, as well as a mentoring program.
