About this position
The Department of Mathematics at Radboud University invites applications for a PhD project in homotopy theory within the research area of algebraic topology. The successful candidate will work on equivariant stable homotopy theory and contribute to research on commutativity in this setting.
The project is part of the NWO-XL initiative “Symmetry on the Interface of Topology and Higher Algebra”. The position sits in a research environment with algebraic topologists, related mathematicians in geometry, operator algebras, and representation theory, and a broader Dutch network of researchers in the field. The department highlights regular seminars, informal events, and participation in conferences, workshops, and seminars as part of the doctoral experience.
The PhD candidate will be based in the Faculty of Science and supervised by Dr Magdalena Kedziorek. The advert also notes the presence of Dr Steffen Sagave in the algebraic topology research area. The role includes a light teaching load and a strong emphasis on publishing research findings in peer-reviewed journals.
Radboud University describes an informal, accessible, and welcoming research setting with opportunities for personal and professional development.
