Post-Doctoral Position

This program aims to support the development of research projects in mathematics and its interactions at the University of Strasbourg through the funding of post-doctoral positions  within the laboratories of the Interdisciplinary Thematic Institute IRMIA++.

3 post-doctoral positions are open for a hiring in 2024.

The positions are located in Strasbourg: each laureate will be assigned to the laboratory (IRMA, ObAS or ICube) of his/her host team.

The contract is one-year long, renewable once.

The salary will be defined according to the experience and the level of expertise of the candidate, according to the salary scale in force at the University of Strasbourg.

The job description can be downloaded below:

Candidates must have defended their thesis within the last 3 years at the time of hiring (the position will start in 2024, a priori around September-October, and in March at the earliest).

Priority will be given to interdisciplinary projects highlighting concrete ways of interacting or bringing about interactions (working groups,...). The scientific quality of the project will also be an important criterion. The presented project has to be explicitely supported by at least one member of ITI IRMIA++.

Applicants who have completed their thesis under the direction or co-direction of an IRMIA++ researcher are not eligible.

The selection of the candidates is made in 2 consecutive phases:

Phase 1 - Application file

The candidate must send a scientific file in English by e-mail, to the address iti-irmiapp[at]unistra.fr  before November 17, 2023. This file of maximum 4 pages (excluding annexes) must be provided in pdf format and must contain the following elements:

• CV and contact information of the candidate
• Laboratory, team and referees envisaged - At least one of the referees must be a member of the ITI IRMIA++
• Presentation of the thesis work and project of scientific integration in the host team

At the same time, one ITI IRMIA++ member supervising the project must also send by email to iti-irmiapp[at]unistra.fr  before November 17, 2023 his/her contact information, CV and a letter of explicit scientific support describing the scientific project, its stakes and its scientific context. The project may be co-written with the candidate.

In appendix, the candidates can if they wish add the following elements (non exhaustive list):

• Bibliography
• Other letters of recommendation

The applications received will be reviewed by the IRMIA++ ITI scientific expert committee in mid-December 2023.

Phase 2 - Individual Interviews

The scientific committee will establish a list of candidates to be interviewed from the applications received. These candidates will be contacted to proceed to individual interviews with an ad-hoc interdisciplinary committee, made up of researchers from the 3 ITI disciplines (mathematics, computer science and astrophysics). The interview will last 20 minutes per candidate.

These pre-selected candidates will be notified of their interview date in December 2023. The interviews will take place between January 8 and 12, 2024 by videoconference.

Successful candidates (on the main list and on the complementary list) will be notified at the end of January 2024 of the decision concerning their application.
