Call for Expression of Interest

For a position of Associate Professor at Dipartimento di Scienze Matematiche "G.L. Lagrange", Politecnico di Torino

Politecnico di Torino is a major technical University located in Torino, North-West Italy, close to the Alps. Torino is a large city (900. 000 dwellers) and an important business and cultural center. It has been the first Italian Capital from 1861 to 1865. Politecnico di Torino is one of the most prestigious Italian Universities and it ranks 52nd in the area of Engineering according to the last QS World University Rankings.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences (DISMA) at Politecnico di Torino has been awarded the title of Department of Excellence 2018-2022 from the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). Consequently, it has received a large grant to pursue a scientific project, which is illustrated in our website.

Applicants should have a strong expertise in either discrete or computational mathematics and a genuine scientific interest in one of the four main themes of the research project, that can be found here. They need to be mature and independent researchers with demonstrated track records of publications in primary academic journals, experience in teaching both at undergraduate and graduate level. Interdisciplinarity and potential to attract competitive funding will be highly valued as well as some experience in supervising PhD students and Post-Docs.

On the basis of the collected EoIs, the department will decide whether to open a position in a specific sub-discipline. Academic positions in Italy can only be awarded through a public competition or direct appointment. The DISMA will contact the selected applicants to inform them about the opening of the formal positions and the required documentation.
