The position ist associated with a Junior Research Group in
Mathematical Physics which is funded by Prof. Zirnbauer's Leibniz
Award and led by Dr. Thomas Quella. The interests of the group include
topological phases of matter and critical phenomena as well as
constructive aspects of quantum field theory and string theory. The
group is associated with the Collaborative Research Center (SFB)
"Symmetrics and Universality in Mesoscopic Systems" and retains a
close cooperation with the groups of Alexander Alldridge and Martin
Zirnbauer.
Candidates must hold a university degree equivalent to the German
