Mission
The Institute of Mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) invites applications for two full-time instructorships in Discrete Mathematics.
Profile
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.
We are looking in particular for applicants with a strong profile in fields such as combinatorics, graph theory, convex geometry and algorithms.
Instructors are expected to teach courses in discrete/algorithmic mathematics. In addition, willingness to teach foundational courses is expected. The initial teaching load is light, corresponding to half the teaching load of regular faculty, and gradually progresses to the latter.
Instructors are expected to be able to teach courses in English or French.
The EPFL actively aims to increase the presence of women amongst its employees, and female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
We offer
The term of the position is two years, with the possibility of extension for another two years.
EPFL salaries for instructors are highly competitive. In addition, instructors receive a substantial yearly budget for travel expenses and other expenditures.
Applications include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, publication list, research statement highlighting main achievements (1 page), teaching record, and the names and addresses of at least three references to be added in the cover letter.

Questions about this listing
What salary does EPFL offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Lausanne is CHF 60'500 - 91'500 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by EPFL. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does EPFL offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with EPFL during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Vaud?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Vaud's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Vaud's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
How do I apply for this position at EPFL?
Use the "Apply now" button on this page — it links directly to EPFL's original listing at careers.epfl.ch, so your application goes straight to the employer's own applicant-tracking system. Frontaliere Ticino does not collect or forward applications itself.
