About this position

The position is based in the Division of Mathematics at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at Lund University, a joint department bringing together the university’s mathematical sciences in an international and collegial research environment.

The doctoral project is in modern algebraic topology, with a particular focus on homotopy theory. The work is connected to the Swedish Research Council-funded project “Local to global extensions of topological quantum field theories”, and the research may also extend to related areas such as stable homotopy theory, higher category theory, homological algebra, and geometric topology.

The successful candidate will join a growing research group and an active environment where there are opportunities to attend seminars and conferences while working on the doctoral project. The post is a full-time fixed-term doctoral appointment that also includes admission to doctoral studies at Lund University, with teaching and other departmental duties possible to a limited extent.

Funding details

Partly funded by the Swedish Research Council as part of the project “Local to global extensions of topological quantum field theories”.

What's required

Applicants must have a second-cycle degree, or completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits including at least 60 credits at second-cycle level, or equivalent knowledge. Special requirements include completed courses in mathematics equivalent to 120 credits, of which at least 50 credits must be at advanced (MSc) level, and the course work should include a degree project corresponding to 30 credits; equivalent studies may also qualify. Applicants should have knowledge and skills in algebraic topology, the ability to work independently and formulate and tackle research problems, good written and oral communication skills, and very good oral and written proficiency in English. Knowledge and prior experience in stable homotopy theory and infinity-categories are strong merits.

How to apply

Apply in English through the Varbi application portal. Include a CV, a personal letter explaining your interest and fit for the project, a copy of your Master’s thesis or a summary if unfinished, contact details for at least two references, copies of grade certificates, and any other supporting documents you want to include.
