Assistant Professor in Mathematical Logic

UvA - University of Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Are you working at the forefront of mathematical logic and are you passionate about research and teaching in this field? Are you looking forward to take the next step in your career and are you excited about joining a renowned interdisciplinary research institute with a strong international orientation?

The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) is seeking to hire a new faculty member in this area, at the assistant professor level. At the ILLC we strive for a better gender balance amongst our staff. We therefore strongly encourage women to apply for this position.

While we will consider applications from individuals working in any area within mathematical logic, with the aim of strengthening our profile in the traditional areas of mathematical logic we have a strong preference for a logician working in model theory or set theory.

This includes, in particular:

• Research:
  • developing an independent line of research; publishing your work in recognized outlets; supervising PhD candidates and postdocs; and supporting your research through the acquisition of funding from agencies such as the NWO and ERC, and possibly industrial partners.
• Teaching:
  • designing and teaching courses in Logic, in programmes such as the BSc Mathematics and the MSc Logic; and supervising students at both the Bachelor’s and the Master’s level.
• Knowledge transfer:
  • engaging in outreach activities directed at the general public; and, where possible, seeking cooperation with partner organizations in the private and the public sector.
• Professional service:
  • contributing to the proper functioning of the international scientific community through peer review, serving on relevant editorial boards and programme committees, as well as other relevant activities.
• Management:
  • contributing to management and administrative tasks at the institute, related to both education and research.
