Topics of interest: Algebra, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, algebraic topology, complex ge-ometry, quantum topology, geometric analysis, operator algebra, number theory statistic, probability theory and mathematical physics, quantum algorithms, quantum software architecture and quantum computing.

We offer
Our new colleagues will become part of an inspirational international research environment with excel-lent facilities and strong collaborations with a vast international network, research organizations and regu-latory stakeholders. Our special emphasis is the mathematical foundations for quantum theory and we are committed to an ambitious buildup of top international scholars in the field of the mathematical foun-dations of quantum field theory and string theory and further in the mathematical foundations of quan-tum engineering. Given that current development of mathematical foundations of quantum theory draws from and needs a diverse deep understanding of all branches of pure mathematics, we offer a number of positions in all branches of pure mathematics at QM. We also offer the opportunity to shape our educational programmes to benefit from new developments in pedagogical approaches and content.

We expect
The candidates must possess research qualifications and teaching skills corresponding to those obtained after a successful completion of a period of employment as an associate professor or equivalent academic qualifications.

The candidates must have a PhD degree in pure mathematics, mathematical physics or quantum comput-er Science. The candidates must further have a strong research track record in the field, evidence of ex-cellent teaching at undergraduate and graduate level (e.g. teaching evaluations, awards, having complet-ed pedagogical and supervision courses), evidence of project/s participation with competitive research funding (at national and/or international level).

We are seeking highly motivated candidates, who work and communicate well in an international team. The candidates must be able to carry out independent and rigorous work at top international level.

We are looking for candidates with experience and competences in several of the following items:

• Mentoring and coaching students in projects and theses.
• Ability to work in national and international projects.
• A relevant international network for research and collaboration activities.
• Experience in performing research management activities, editorial experience, planning and running conferences or workshops, etc.
• Experience in attracting and managing externally funded projects with multiple partners (e.g. EU pro-jects).
