Offer Description

The Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IM CAS) is seeking a researcher for the Czech-Polish international project “Modern geometrical aspects of linear operators: matrix representations, numerical ranges and related matters” coordinated by Prof. Vladimír Müller (IM CAS) and Prof. Yuriy Tomilov (IM PAN), and funded by the Czech Science Foundation. The position does not include any teaching duties .

The project is devoted to investigating matrix representations of linear operators on Hilbert spaces and related topics, as well as to exploring the theory of numerical ranges and its applications, in particular to operator norm estimates and functional calculi. A further aim is to understand the relationships between these areas of operator theory. Positioned at the intersection of several domains of analysis, the project draws on abstract operator theory, von Neumann algebras, complex analysis, functional calculi, partial differential equations, topology, and set theory, and is supplemented by combinatorial methods.

Applications are invited from candidates who have completed their PhD within the last 4 years (or will have completed it before the time of hiring) and who have strong background in functional analysis, especially in operator theory. The successful candidate will work on the project tasks, will have funds for traveling to conferences and research visits, as well as for inviting external research collaborators.
