For the Institute of Algebra and Geometry (IAG), we are currently seeking to recruit, starting October 1
st, 2019, limited to three years, several
PhD candidates (f/m/d)
- part time (75%) -
The DFG Research Training Group “Asymptotic Invariants and Limits of Groups and Spaces” (RTG 2229) is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
and jointly run by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Heidelberg University. Its research focus is the systematic study of geometric spaces with regard to their
asymptotic invariants and their behavior under deformations, degenerations, and taking limits. It provides a structured framework for a cross-boundary PhD training in geometry.
PhD students will benefit from a variety of qualification programs including advanced and tailor-made courses on the topics of the RTG. An intensive visitor's program,
frequent workshops and PhD schools will contribute to a vibrant scientific environment. In addition, we offer professional skills modules.

Payment is according to the wage agreement of the civil service TV-L of salary level E13.
You must have an excellent master’s degree (or equivalent) in mathematics or theoretical physics. Applicants should show a high engagement
and have a strong theoretical background in one of the research topics of the RTG. A good command of English language is required.
We offer an attractive and modern workplace with access to excellent facilities of KIT, diverse and responsible tasks, a wide scope of advanced training
options, supplementary pension with the VBL (Pension Authority for Employees in the Public Service Sector), flexible working time models, a job ticket (BW) allowance, and a
