About this position

Lund University is offering a doctoral position in modern algebraic topology, with a focus on homotopy theory. The research is connected to the Swedish Research Council-funded project “Local to global extensions of topological quantum field theories.”

The project provides scope to investigate related areas, including stable homotopy theory, higher category theory, homological algebra and geometric topology. The successful doctoral student will join the Division of Mathematics at Lund University's Centre for Mathematical Sciences, an active and growing research environment bringing together researchers in algebra, algebraic topology, partial differential equations, operator theory, complex analysis, harmonic analysis, inverse problems and differential geometry.

As a doctoral student, you will be admitted to third-cycle studies and employed by Lund University. Your primary activity will be doctoral research and study, alongside opportunities to participate in seminars and conferences. The department emphasizes a collegial, international working environment and collaboration within a broad mathematical sciences community.

Funding details

This is a full-time fixed-term doctoral employment at Lund University. The position offers a monthly salary and university employee benefits, including generous holidays and a favourable occupational pension. The employment may include teaching and other departmental duties of up to 20%, with the employment extended accordingly.

What's required

Applicants must hold a second-cycle degree, have completed at least 240 higher education credits including at least 60 credits at second-cycle level, or possess equivalent knowledge. Applicants must have completed mathematics courses equivalent to 120 credits, including at least 50 advanced-level credits and a 30-credit degree project, or equivalent studies. Knowledge and skills in algebraic topology, ability to work independently and formulate and address research problems, and very good written and oral English are required. Knowledge or prior experience in stable homotopy theory and infinity-categories is a strong merit. Good collaborative skills, drive and independence are also considered.

How to apply

Submit an application in English through the Varbi application portal. Include a CV, personal letter, Master's thesis or summary, contact details for at least two references, grade certificates, and any other relevant documents.
