Matteo Parisi

The Algebraic Combinatorics and Fundamental Physics Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar or staff scientist to join a growing research group led by Matteo Parisi in Okinawa, Japan. The unit works across mathematics and theoretical physics, focusing on the combinatorial and geometric structures that underlie quantum field theory. The advertised research themes include algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, nonlinear algebra, discrete geometry, total positivity, cluster algebras, amplituhedra, positive geometry, scattering amplitudes, Feynman integrals, and Landau analysis. The successful candidate will join an active environment that already includes three postdoctoral researchers, together with research interns and rotation students. The posting highlights opportunities for independent and collaborative research, publishing and presenting results, and contributing to seminars, workshops, mentoring, community, and outreach activities within and beyond OIST. OIST is described as an international graduate university with English as its official language and a five-year PhD programme, offering a research setting with shared resources, travel support, and assistance with relocation and daily life.
