About this position
This PhD project is based in the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science of the Autonomous University of Madrid, with research activity linked to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) at the Campus of Cantoblanco.
The student will work on algebraic geometry within the national DUKES project, led by Mario Garcia-Fernandez and Jesus Martinez-Garcia, and connected to the broader GEMS coordinated project. The advertised research directions span several modern areas of algebraic geometry and related geometry, including birational geometry and classification of algebraic varieties, moduli spaces of varieties, geometric invariant theory, K-stability, special holonomy, dualities, higher geometry, vertex algebras, Hitchin systems, Langlands duality, and mirror symmetry.
The position is embedded in a collaborative environment involving researchers at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and ICMAT, with links to a larger Spanish and international network through GEMS. The call also notes that computational and formal methods may be used where relevant, including tools such as Sagemath, Python, and Lean.
The project is framed as a 4-year doctoral contract within an active mathematics research setting focused on algebraic and geometric structures.
