Upcoming postdoc hiring (published on 18 January 2025)

My research grant ``Dormancy and spread of beneficial mutations in population biology and interacting particle systems'' funded by the "STARTING" application sub-program of the National Research Excellence Program, managed by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH), started running on 1 January 2025 and will last until 31 December 2028. See the corresponding news on the webpage of the Rényi Institute.

Funded by this grant, I will have the opportunity to hire a postdoc on a 50% position for two years (2027-2028).
Starting the position earlier (in 2025 or 2026) and/or taking a one-year full position instead of a two-year part-time one may be possible upon agreement.

General information on my past and present teaching

My current teaching in Budapest mainly consists of lectures and exercise classes of Probability Theory and Statistics and exercises of Algorithm Theory for computer engineering students (in Hungarian or German), see below.

In July 2024, I gave a block course on population dynamics as a guest lecturer hosted by Jochen Blath at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt for master and PhD students in mathematics. Its webpage was course webpage.

This semester (spring 2024): exercise classes on algorithm theory and exam-only version of the probability course, both for computer engineering students (in Hungarian).

My former teaching at TU Berlin (in German or English) included: lectures and tutorials of Stochastics for Informatics, exercise classes of Analysis II+III, Insurance Mathematics, Measure and Integration theory, and Probability Theory II/Stochastic Processes I (discrete time) for math students, tutorials of Analysis II for engineering students, seminar assistance for the seminar Probabilistic Methods in Telecommunications.
