Our Department of Mathematics has strong research groups across a wide range of fields and interests. Additionally, it is worth noting that the city of Rome is home to two other very active mathematics departments. Furthermore, we have recently been awarded the “Dipartimento di Eccellenza” (Excellence Project 2023-2027) by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities, and Research (MIUR).
We are seeking established scientists with an outstanding record of high-impact research, excellence, and leadership. The successful candidate will be expected to actively contribute to the department’s academic program, its strategy and governance, as well as provide scientific leadership and participate in large-scale grant applications, particularly in connection with the “Dipartimento di Eccellenza” program.
Additional Information about the job specifications
- Salary. Many benefits are included, such as national health insurance, thirteen months of salary, contributions towards pension and retirement settlement. In order to have a clue of what your monthly net salary will approximately be, you may want to check for instance this website (the computation is made here over 12 monthly salaries).
Please note that for successful candidates having held academic positions abroad, there are some tax benefits, as, for example, a tax relief of up to 90% of the salary that may be granted for a duration up to eight years.
This means, by way of example, that the net monthly pay with these tax benefits would increase by about 50%.
You may also want to take a look at this website to have a rough idea of the living cost in Roma. - How to apply. Submit a brief CV, a list of publications, a research statement and a teaching statement, as well as names of some mathematicians who could provide a recommendation letter if needed.
The applications will be reviewed by a cross disciplinary Selection Committee and will follow the official “Chiamata Diretta” procedure.
The “Chiamata Diretta” recruitment process involves several approval steps and requires the endorsement of the Ministry of Education, University, and Research.
The procedure is therefore expected to be completed and the position to be filled within November 2026.
The Rector confirms the appointment by Decree and sets the relative salary class based on seniority of service and merit (art. 1, c. 9, L. n. 230/2005).
