TU Graz: One 3-Year Postdoctoral Position in Analytic Combinatorics
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are seeking outstanding candidates with expertise and proficiency in
analytic combinatorics (e.g. singularity analysis, saddle-point methods,
generating functions, cycle index sums).

The successful candidate will be employed as a postdoctoral researcher
for three years within the Research Project on "Asymptotic Properties
of Graphs on a Surface" (funded by Austrian Science Fund FWF) as a
member of the Combinatorics Group at the Institute of Optimisation and
Discrete Mathematics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz),
Austria, http://www.math.tugraz.at/mathb/. The current group members include

-- Mihyun Kang (full professor)
-- Oliver Cooley (assistant professor)
-- Philipp Spruessel (assistant professor)
-- Christoph Koch (Ph.D. student)
-- Michael Mosshammer (Ph.D. student).

This is a research position and does not carry any teaching
responsibilities. There is however a possibility to teach if one wishes
to do so and optional teaching is compensated separately. The preferred
starting date is 1 November 2015, but negotiable.

The basic salary is specified in the FWF standard personnel costs and
salaries https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/personnel-costs/.
There are extra salary payments, the so-called 13th- and 14th-month
salaries which are favourably taxed.

Condition of employment:
- Qualified candidates must hold a PhD degree in mathematics or
theoretical computer science before the time of appointment

Application documents:
- Cover letter of application
- Curriculum vitae including the list of publications
- A short statement of research interests
- A list of full contact information of two references who can submit
letters of recommendation

All application documents should be electronically submitted in a
single PDF file by 20 June 2015 to Ms Sandra Wissler,
sandra.wissler@tugraz.at.
