Institute of Physics

The Institute of Physics of the Hebrew University of Israel invites potential candidates to submit applications for academic positions at all levels and in all fields of physics. More detailed information appears on the institute's website.

Institute of Mathematics

The Einstein Institute of Mathematics at the Hebrew University invites candidates for academic positions in the permanent track.

The Einstein Institute is known around the world as a center of excellence in research and teaching mathematics, and we are looking for candidates to help us continue our tradition of excellence and our efforts to continue to develop and improve even more. In rare and exceptional cases appointments for appointment with tenure will also be examined.

Applications will be made by e-mail to the head of the institute, Prof. Tamar Ziegler, and to the director of the administration, Ms. Yael Ben-Noun. Questions regarding the job application and the application process can be directed to the same e-mail addresses.

 

----------------------------------------------

To apply, send the following items in English:

Resume - See guidelines on the faculty website

- List of publications, with comments on contributions to publications in case there are several authors (in mathematics it is customary to write the names of the authors in alphabetical order when the relative contribution of all authors is similar, if this is the case please indicate this in the list of publications).

- Scientific biography (2-4 pages) showing the previous work, plans for the future and a research program of the candidate. The two can be combined.

- A statement of instruction, describing the philosophy of instruction. It is better that you are anchored in the candidate's teaching experience. It is advisable to include a list describing teaching experience, and it is also possible to attach results of teaching polls.

- PDF files of up to three selected articles.

Names and contact details (including current institutional affiliation and email address) of the doctoral supervisor / supervisors and postdoctoral supervisors. Not all postdoctoral positions in mathematics have an official facilitator: if not, this should be explicitly stated and it is best to give the name of the local faculty member who has held the position closest to the postdoctoral facilitator.

 

- As an option, you can attach a list of several experts who know your work, whom the Einstein Institute can contact for a letter of appreciation.
 We choose the evaluators ourselves, taking into account the candidate's request, but always at least some of the recommenders will not be on the list provided to us (and therefore it is not advisable to give an overly detailed list of possible evaluators). You can also ask that we not turn to certain experts (hopefully most candidates this option is not relevant). Please indicate your degree of familiarity with the proposed evaluators.

Please do not contact the surveyed candidates in person - only letters that arrive, according to our request, directly from the evaluator / recommender will be taken into account for the examination of the candidacy.

In order to enable an optimal examination of the candidates, the candidature must be submitted by October 3rd, 2021.
