The positions of assistant professors have been established to promote the career of younger scientists. They are available for three years in the first instance, with the possibility of renewal for additional three years. The ETHZ specifically encourages female candidates to apply with a view towards increasing the proportion of female professors. The department of mathematics of the ETH in Zurich is offering four positions on the post doctoral level. These positions are for one year.
Competition is in all subjects in mathematics.
Hence it would be good, besides writing a usual application with a vita and possible list of publicatins, to contact directly the department member with whom one would like to interact. Appointments will be made for periods of up to three years and may be extended. Assistance with relocation expenses will also be provided. Part-time appointment may be available as well as extended visiting appointment during a period of leave of absence from a home institution. Applications addressing the selection criteria and including a current curriculum vitae, list of publications and the names of at least three academic referees should be submitted in duplicate to the Secretary of the University with whom applications close on 14 February 1993.
