The Faculty of Mathematics of the Technische Universität Chemnitz has two openings for W2 (associate) professor positions starting October 1, 2016:
– W2 Professur “Wirtschaftsmathematik” (economathematics):

– W2 Professur “Finanzmathematik” (financial mathematics):
https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/verwaltung/personal/stellen/W2_Finanzmathematik.php
The focus of the two positions differs:

  • economathematics should emphasize mathematical methods of operations research and/or equilibrium/game theory and may include mathematical aspects of finance,
  • financial mathematics should emphasize mathematical aspects of stochastic and statistic nature in financial (or insurance) applications.

It is our goal to fill both positions at the same time and to form a new core area in cooperation with the Faculty of Economics, which has a further opening in “Produktionswirtschaft und Industriebetriebslehre”. Candidates should therefore demonstrate a clear interest in disciplinary as well as trans-departmental collaboration.
For the official announcement and the formal requirements for applications (to be submitted by November 27, 2015) please consult the respective pages above.  Fluency in German is an advantage or will be required within a reasonable period of time.
