About this position
This postdoctoral position at Lund University is part of the project “Local to global principles for topological quantum field theory” and focuses on research in algebraic topology. The project environment connects closely with modern topology and mathematical physics, with research topics explicitly including stable homotopy theory, higher category theory, and geometric topology.
The appointment is a career-development postdoctoral role intended to deepen research expertise while also offering broader academic experience. The position includes primarily research duties, with teaching possible up to 20%, as well as supervision of degree projects and doctoral students. It also comes with the opportunity for three weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning.
The role sits within the Faculty of Science, where research and education span mathematics and the natural sciences across Lund University’s northern campus area. The advert emphasizes a research-focused setting and encourages applicants whose experience and skills will complement and strengthen ongoing research in the department.
The successful candidate will contribute to a project at the intersection of topology and topological quantum field theory, working in an environment that values high-quality research, collaboration, independence, and academic development.
Funding details
Project-funded postdoctoral employment supported by the Swedish Research Council; full-time fixed-term employment of up to 3 years.
What's required
Applicants must have a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, in algebraic topology completed no more than three years before the date of employment decision, unless special circumstances apply. Very good oral and written proficiency in English is required. The advert also seeks candidates who are motivated, take initiative, can work independently and in groups, and are perseverant. A strong background in higher algebra and stable homotopy theory is an additional merit.
How to apply
Submit a CV with publication list, a research and motivation statement of up to 3 pages, a copy of your doctoral degree, any other relevant certificates or grades, an electronic copy of your PhD thesis if possible, and contact details for at least two referees. Upload all documents as PDF via the application link.
