For the starting date of 1 October 2023, the Mathematics Institute of Leipzig University intends to provide funding for up to 5 new PhD students. The successful applicants will typically be employed at 50% of a "Scientific Assistant" position (TV-L EG 13).

Teaching duties associated with this position are preparing and conducting 1 tutorial session (90min) per week. The salary after taxes for this position in 2022 was around 1350 Euro per month. Please consider this only as an unofficial indicative number, since the actual salary depends on personal circumstances (being married, number of children, previous experience, etc.).

We strive to increase the number of women and other under-represented groups in mathematical research. As such we explicitly encourage women and other under-represented groups to apply. We are an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity.

In this round of applications we also explicitly encourage both Ukrainian refugees and Ukraine-based applicants affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine to apply.

The deadline for applications is 31 March 2023. More details, including on how to apply, are available at https://www.math.uni-leipzig.de/phd2023
