Positions in the Department and call for expressions of interest

Recently, there were six new Professor positions open in the Department of Mathematics:

  • A position for Associate Professor in the area of Algebra, Combinatorics and Mathematical Logic was recently open until August 16.
  • Five new positions for Assistant Professor: two in Mathematical Analysis, two in Geometry and Topology, and one in Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis.

It is expected that all six new employment contracts for Professor positions in the Department of Mathematics will be concluded by the end of 2024.


Call for expressions of interest:

PhD holders are invited to apply to the open positions mentioned above (if they belong to the scientfic areas) and/or express their interest in assistant professorship positions at the Department of Mathematics of Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa. This call is open for mathematicians in all fields of Mathematics. For the official positions under competition, as well as for other ones to be open soon, a priori postdoctoral experience, international experience and teaching experience are preferred factors. Foreign candidates are welcome, but they are expected to be able to teach in Portuguese after one year.

Those interested in answering to this call should contact our secretarial office at nucleoc6@ciencias.ulisboa.pt.

They should send a CV that includes contacts for three letters of recommendation (one of them for teaching), and teaching and research statements. Each of these statements should be at most one page long (not counting references).  

Those who have answered to this call will be notified as soon as the public notices for the new positions mentioned above are published.


Over the next few years, the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa will hire more professors of mathematics at the assistent or associate levels.

The department offers ample opportunities, since it is in an ongoing process of renewal. The department is interested in people with a strong record of publications and promising scientific outlook, who like to teach and want to work at Faculdade de Ciências. We offer good working conditions: modern facilities, a very complete library, electronic access to journals, as well as the opportunity to integrate a research center affiliated with the department which  is funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and may provide research funding.
