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.
