EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 18,500 people, including over 14,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.

Bernoulli Instructors are expected to develop and sustain an excellent independent research program. They are welcome to collaborate and encouraged to interact with members of the Institute, but they maintain full research independence.

We are looking in particular for applicants with a strong profile in fields such as combinatorics, graph theory, convex geometry and algorithms.

Instructors are expected to teach courses in discrete/algorithmic mathematics. In addition, willingness to teach foundational courses is expected. The initial teaching load is light, corresponding to half the teaching load of regular faculty, and gradually progresses to the latter.

Instructors are expected to be able to teach courses in English or French.

The EPFL actively aims to increase the presence of women amongst its employees, and female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

The term of the position is two years, with the possibility of extension for another two years.
EPFL salaries for instructors are highly competitive. In addition, instructors receive a substantial yearly budget for travel expenses and other expenditures.
