The University of Greifswald’s Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is seeking candidates for the position of
Junior Professor (W1) of Biomathematics
(without tenure track)
for earliest possible appointment. Biomathematics (along with algebra, geometry & topology, scientific computing & computer science, and the didactics of mathematics) is one of the four key fields of research at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science. This is also reflected in the consecutive biomathematics degree programme (at bachelor's and master's levels), which is unique in its form to Germany.
The future holder of the junior professorship will strengthen the institute’s existing research foci in the field of biomathematics. For example, research contributions in the areas of mathematical phylogenetics or biomathematical modelling are desirable. The Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science attaches great importance to the intensive supervision of students. Appropriate commitment is therefore a prerequisite. Applicants with positively evaluated teaching experience and initial success in the acquisition of third-party funding will be given preference. The University of Greifswald supports and demands family-friendly leadership.
The required qualifications are defined in § 62(1) of the Landeshochschulgesetz - LHG M-V (State Higher Education Act): a university degree, teaching aptitude and special expertise in academic work which is generally documented by an outstanding doctoral degree. If you have worked as a teaching and/or research associate or as a graduate assistant prior to or after obtaining your doctorate, the times in which you completed your doctorate and in which you were employed may not exceed a total of nine years.
In accordance with § 62(2) LHG M-V, junior professors are appointed for a period of three years as a temporary civil servant. In case of a positive evaluation after the third year, the contract is extended for a further three years.
This advertisement is directed at all persons, irrespective of gender. The University would like to increase the proportion of women in areas in which they are underrepresented. Thus, applications from women are particularly welcome and will be treated with priority if they have the same qualifications and as long as there are no clear reasons which make a fellow applicant more suitable. Women are specifically encouraged to apply for this position. Severely disabled applicants with the same professional and personal qualifications will also be given preference.
Unfortunately, application costs (e.g. interview-related travel expenses) will not be reimbursed by the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Applications with all usual documents (Curriculum Vitae (CV) detailing the academic career, list of scholarly publications and courses taught, academic certificates, proof of teaching experience, details of externally raised funds, information on teaching concept and future research topics in Greifswald) must be sent via email (one pdf file) by the 23 June 2025, addressed to:
