Job opening (PhD position)

I am advertising a 3-year PhD position in algebraic geometry under my supervision at TU Chemnitz (scale TV-L E13, 75%).

The position will be part of my DFG-funded research project “Cycles for irregular perverse sheaves and their applications”.

I am looking for a candidate with a strong background in algebra and/or geometry who is eager to learn new theories and to participate in an exciting research project. Prior knowledge in the topics of the grant (such as D-modules or perverse sheaves) is appreciated but not a requirement.

The position comes with no teaching duties and the start date is flexible.

Please submit your application to andreas.hohl@math.tu-chemnitz.de, including in particular:

• your CV,
• relevant degree certificates,
• your Master’s thesis (or a draft or different sample of your scientific writing),
• contact details of at least one person who can be asked for a reference letter.

The deadline for applications is September 11th, 2026. Applications may still be considered after this date until the position is filled.

The official announcement (in German) can be found here.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I look forward to your application!
