The Department of Mathematics (DMATH) of the University of Luxembourg is opening an Assistant / Associate Professor (depending on qualifications) position in Mathematics, in an area of modern mathematics related to algebra. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Algebraic Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry, Arithmetic Geometry, Derived Categories, Langlands Program, Geometric Representation Theory.

The position is part of the Anne Beffort Excellence Programme, which the University has launched in 2024, to promote gender balance in professorial positions. This programme prioritizes the recruitment of women, in line with the University’s broader efforts to promote research excellence in a gender diverse environment.

Anne Beffort positions are professorial appointments offering a range of benefits, including: A global 5-year start-up package of 250k Euro, complementing resources offered by the Faculty/Centre; access to the ADVANCE Mentoring Programme and Marie Speyer Excellence Grants for early-career professors; assistance with relocation to Luxembourg and support for career opportunities for partners of appointed professors.

The successful candidate will establish an internationally recognized research group in an area of modern mathematics related to algebra; actively seek external funding, with a particular focus on opportunities from the European Community, including ERC grants and Marie Curie Fellowships; contribute to the teaching mission of the department at various levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD); advise PhD candidates and contribute to doctoral and postdoctoral training (e.g., organizing research seminars, reading groups, workshops); participate in DMATH’s outreach and/or science communication activities

The successful candidate must hold a PhD and should have made relevant research contributions, with publications in peer-reviewed international journals and/or conference proceedings.
In addition, relevant teaching experience is expected, and the successful candidate will contribute to the teaching of mathematics within DMATH and in interdisciplinary teaching contexts. Experience in outreach and science communication will be considered an asset.
The successful candidate should also demonstrate the ability to carry out administrative duties and is expected to apply for both joint and individual third-party funding (e.g., through the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) or the European ERC programme). A proven track record in securing or applying for such funding will be considered a key selection criterion.

The University of Luxembourg is set in a multilingual and multicultural context. The person hired on this position must be proficient in English. The University encourages Anne Beffort professors who are not proficient in French and German to learn one of the two languages and provides access to language courses to this end.
