Emmy Noether Programme
The Emmy Noether Programme by the German Research Society is aimed at postdocs and fixed-term junior professors at the beginning of their academic career. The six-year funding period is intended to enable particularly promising junior researchers to qualify for a university chair by independently leading a working group.
Emmy Noether Groups at the MIN Faculty
Dr. David Reutter (Start 2022)
"Topological quantum field theory beyond three dimensions"
The German Research Foundation has awarded €1 million in funding to the early-career research group headed by Dr. David Reutter in the Department of Mathematics at Universität Hamburg. Reutter is researching mathematical theories that describe the behavior of fields in spaces with more than 3 dimensions.
Dr. Sven Möller (Start 2022)
"Vertex Algebras Associated with 2- and 4-dimensional Conformal Field Theories"
The German Research Foundation has awarded €1 million in funding to the early-career research group headed by Dr. Sven Möller in the Department of Mathematics at Universität Hamburg. The mathematician is working on theories that describe interactions between the smallest building blocks of matter at the interface with particle physics.

Dr. William Foster (Start 2021)
Dr William Foster: "Ocean Life on the Brink: Quantifying the Collapse of Shallow Marine Ecosystems during the Permo-Triassic Climate Crisis".
How do marine organisms respond to global warming? This question has come increasingly into focus in recent years. On the one hand, with regard to evolutionary research, and on the other hand, against the background of the danger of a future mass extinction. Climate warming at the transition between the Permian and Triassic periods, which occurred 252 million years ago and triggered a major extinction of species, can help to understand the current climate crisis and loss of biodiversity.
To find out which factors caused the extinction at the boundary between the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras, the Emmy Noether Group will collect new, extensive data, with which the scientists want to explore how marine life reacts to extreme climate changes. The aim is to communicate the findings to political decision-makers in order to curb the current mass extinction.
Dr William Foster's Emmy Noether Group will be based in the "Geology in the Earth System" working group of Prof. Dr Jörn Peckmann at the Centre for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN). It is expected to start on 1 January 2021 and will be funded for six years with a total of around 1.6 million euros.
Dr. William J. Foster studied Physical Geography (MPhysGeog) at the University of Hull and did his PhD at the University of Plymouth. After a Geo.X Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Potsdam, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Texas (USA) and as an Assistant Professor in Palaeobiology at University College Dublin (Ireland).
