We are looking for a Postdoc with a strong background in Mathematical Finance and/or Probability Theory and/or Analysis in the framework of the ERC Advanced Investigator Grant of Walter Schachermayer: “Risk and Valuation of Financial Assets: A Robust Approach.”

We offer you to work on the forefront of current mathematical research, within a highly active research group.

We expect you to have a strong desire to do demanding research and to have an excellent mathematical background. Experience in Mathematical Finance is desirable but not absolutely necessary if you are capable and willing to quickly adapt to a new field.

We strongly encourage applications of female candidates.

The position is available from October 4, 2010, on, but we are flexible about the actual date of hiring. The duration of the contract is one year, renewable up to three years. In exceptional cases we can also make a contract fixing a period of two or three years from the very beginning.

Your application should arrive before October 4, 2010.

Ideally it should be in electronic format (PDF) and include:

• Application letter, also indicating your preferred start date,
• Complete curriculum vitae,
• List of publications and preprints with links to online versions,
• Letters of reference or contact details of academics who can provide a letter of reference upon request.

Your application should be sent to tamara.erber@univie.ac.at. Please join all your attached documents into a single file if possible.
