The intention of the newly founded Collaborative Research Centre (CRC TRR) 358 „Integral structures
in geometry and representation theory“ – funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and
based at Bielefeld, Paderborn and Bonn – is to establish an internationally visible centre of mathe-
matical research in the region of East Westphalia. The CRC pursues a broad research program in the
fields of algebraic combinatorics, automorphic forms, arithmetic and complex algebraic geometry, cat-
egorical representation theory, geometric group theory, harmonic analysis on locally symmetric
spaces and theory of affine buildings.
The CRC TRR 358 will create an attractive research environment with many guests, seminars and
workshops and offers extensive funds for business trips.
In the context of subproject B5, the following position is available at the Institute of Mathematics, part
of the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics at the earliest pos-
sible opportunity:
Research Associate (f/m/d)
(salary is according to E 13 TV-L)
with 75% of the regular working hours. The temporary position is initially limited to 24 months due

The duration of the fixed term corresponds to the approved project period at the University of Pa-
derborn.
Your tasks:
• Scientific collaboration in the subproject B5 "p-adic L-functions, L-invariants and the cohomol-
ogy of arithmetic groups", in particular research in the area of number theory in the context of
the Langlands Programme
• Active participation in project-internal activities of the CRC and the working group „Algebra and
Number Theory“
• Participation in general work of CRC TRR 358, planning and support of general joint CRC ac-
tivities
Your profile:
• Completed scientific university degree (master’s degree) in mathematics
• Good skills of spoken and written English
Since Paderborn University seeks to increase the number of female scientists, applications of female
are especially welcome. In case of equal qualification and scientific achievements, they will receive
preferential treatment according to the North Rhine-Westphalian Equal Opportunities Policy (LGG),
unless there are cogent reasons to give preference to another applicant. Likewise, applications of
disabled people with appropriate qualification are explicitly requested. This also applies to people with
equal status according to the German social law SGB IX.
Applications (including curriculum vitae, copies of certificates, diplomas) and one or two additional
letters of recommendation from university teachers – directly from the author – are requested under
the reference number 5806 by 31st of March 2023 (preferably in a single pdf file) by email to:
