Bernoulli Instructor in Probability and Stochastic Analysis

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.

The Institute of Mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) invites applications for a Bernoulli Instructor in Probability and Stochastic Analysis. The term of the position is two years, with the possibility of extension for another two years.

Bernoulli Instructors are expected to teach Mathematics courses at all levels in French or English. The initial teaching load is light during the first two years and gradually progresses.

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.

• A Ph.D. in Mathematics.
• A strong background and research record in Probability and stochastic analysis and related
• Proficiency in English.

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

EPFL salaries for instructors are highly competitive. In addition, instructors receive a substantial yearly budget for travel expenses and other expenditures.
