About this position

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is inviting applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in geometric and combinatorial topology within the Department of Mathematics.

The position is closely connected to the Center for Topology, Algebra, and their Applications (CTA^2). The department is particularly interested in candidates whose work aligns with ongoing research on low-dimensional and topological structures such as embedded graphs, knots, braids, manifolds, bordisms, and related algebraic structures including cluster algebras. Applications that connect these themes with broader mathematical applications are especially welcome.

The role combines research and teaching: the successful candidate will devote 85% of their time to research collaboration with members of CTA^2 and 15% to contributing to the teaching portfolio of the Department of Mathematics. The department describes itself as inclusive and interdisciplinary, with diversity and internationalism forming central research and teaching principles.

The preferred starting date is 1 September 2027. The application deadline is 2026-12-06.

The position is especially welcoming to applicants from groups under-represented in academic posts, with particular encouragement for women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

For applicants interested in topology, low-dimensional geometry, and algebraic structures arising from topology, this postdoc offers a research environment at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with strong thematic fit and a structured teaching contribution.
