A message from Karin Baur:
We advertise two postdoc positions in the EPSRC Programme Grant “Combinatorial Representation Theory: Discovering the Interfaces of Algebra with Geometry and Topology”, the job advertisement is here:
We are looking for two Research Fellows (one for 24 months, one for 30 months) to work on the EPSRC Programme Grant, “Combinatorial Representation Theory: Discovering the Interfaces of Algebra with Geometry and Topology”.
You will join a strong and supportive collaborative team: Karin Baur, Eleonore Faber, Joao Faria Martins, Bethany Marsh, Paul Martin and Alison Parker.
The programme is organised around four themes:
-
Algebras bridging between combinatorics and geometry;
-
Mutation of algebraic and geometric structures;
-
Algebraic geometry of Grassmannians and moduli spaces;
-
Computation for Physics.
An ability to work on Theme 4 is preferred for the 30 month position, but the programme grant is flexible and applications from candidates with the potential to work on any of the four themes will be considered.
In particular, preference may be given to candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas: diagram algebras, Hecke algebras, Brauer algebras, homological algebra, algebraic groups, statistical mechanics, topological quantum field theory, topological quantum computing, algebraic computation, and geometric topology.
