In this context, we also refer to the high-profile research areas of the University of Bremen (see www.uni-bremen.de/en/research/research-profile/high-profile-areas). Research experience in an international context is expected. Furthermore, interest and appropriate experience in the acquisition of third-party funded projects are expected.

In addition to research and activities relevant to external funding, the duties include teaching in the (German-language) Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs Mathematics and Industrial Mathematics as well as in the English-language Master’s degree programs Mathematics and Industrial Mathematics & Data Analysis, in the Mathematics Education degree programs, and mathematics courses Faculty 3 provides for the Physics, Engineering, and Economics faculties. The willingness to teach English-language courses and to offer German-language courses after two years at the latest is expected. Fluency in German at the time of employment is not mandatory. Active promotion of young scientists is expected. In addition, interest, willingness to assist with and, if applicable, experience in the area of innovations in teaching, continuing education in higher education didactics and academic self-administration are expected. Furthermore, critical reflection on gender and diversity issues in research and teaching is expected.
