The Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster: Dynamics - Geometry - Structure invites applications for

Ada Lovelace Fellowships
Supplementary doctoral positions
(salary level TV-L E 13, 25% add-on position)

Supplementary fellowships will be offered to exceptionally strong candidates in the doctoral programme with the aim of increasing gender diversity within the mathematical sciences.

Our expectations:

  • Fellowships must supplement a doctoral position and applications may be combined with the application for a 75% doctoral position at Mathematics Münster.
  • Fellowship applications will also be accepted from current members of Mathematics Münster who hold a doctoral researcher position (max. 75%) or who are receiving a scholarship for their doctoral studies.

Advantages for you:
Ada Lovelace Fellows benefit from the supplemented doctoral position and the amenities of the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, including receiving funding for conference travel or summer schools, opportunities to co-organise academic events and participate in numerous networking opportunities and events.
