The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Göttingen invites applications for a permanent professorship with civil servant status (grade W3 NBesO) at the Institute for Mathematical Stochastics starting on April 1, 2026:

W3 Professorship in Stochastics and its Applications (f/m/d)

We are looking for a dedicated and team-oriented individual with an outstanding track record regarding publications and research achievements. The intended research focus should be in a contemporary area of applied stochastics that complements and enhances the institute’s existing research strengths. This could be for example the field of algorithmic stochastics, in particular Bayesian sampling methods, of high-dimensional probability theory, the field of stochastics of discrete structures, the field of spatial stochastics or of stochastic processes in modelling and data analysis, as well as of applied stochastic analysis. The professorship is expected to play a central role in innovative fundamental research in the field of applied stochastics within mathematics in Göttingen, in an interdisciplinary and application-oriented environment.

Building on the faculty’s existing research and third-party funding activities, the professorship is expected to play a leading role in shaping and contributing to research initiatives both within the University of Göttingen and at non-university research institutions on the Göttingen Campus. Desirable are thematic links to stochastic modelling or statistical data analysis. Experience in the acquisition of third-party funding is expected.

In addition to an outstanding research profile, we also expect appropriate qualifications and the ability to deliver excellent, research-oriented teaching. The professorship actively contributes to teaching in the Bachelor‘s and Master‘s degree programmes as well as in the doctoral programme of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, by participating in the teaching portfolio of the Institute for Mathematical Stochastics. Also required is the aptitude for academic self-governance and personnel management responsibilities.
