Vladimír Müller

The Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IM CAS) is recruiting a researcher for the Czech-Polish international project titled “Modern geometrical aspects of linear operators: matrix representations, numerical ranges and related matters.” The project is coordinated by Professor Vladimír Müller at IM CAS and focuses on advanced topics in operator theory, including the geometry of linear operators, their matrix representations, and the study of numerical ranges. This position offers the opportunity to work in a collaborative international environment, engaging with cutting-edge research in mathematics. The successful candidate will join a team dedicated to exploring the theoretical foundations and modern applications of linear operators, contributing to the development of new mathematical insights. The position is based at the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, a leading research institution in the Czech Republic. Details regarding funding, eligibility requirements, and application procedures are not specified in the provided description. Interested candidates are encouraged to seek further information from the institute or project coordinators.

The Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IM CAS) in Prague is offering a postdoctoral position for a researcher to join the Czech-Polish international project “Modern geometrical aspects of linear operators: matrix representations, numerical ranges and related matters.” The project is coordinated by Prof. Vladimír Müller (IM CAS) and Prof. Yuriy Tomilov (IM PAN) and is funded by the Czech Science Foundation. The research focuses on matrix representations of linear operators on Hilbert spaces, the theory of numerical ranges, operator norm estimates, and functional calculi. The project aims to deepen understanding of the relationships between these areas of operator theory and draws on abstract operator theory, von Neumann algebras, complex analysis, functional calculi, partial differential equations, topology, set theory, and combinatorial methods. The position is full-time, temporary, and does not include teaching duties. Applicants should have completed their PhD within the last 4 years (or will have completed it before the time of hiring) and possess a strong background in functional analysis, especially operator theory. The successful candidate will work on project tasks and have access to funds for travel to conferences, research visits, and inviting external collaborators. The Institute offers flexible working hours, support for female researchers with children (including home office and part-time options), a kindergarten for employees' children, and affordable accommodation for the first 3-6 months. The selection committee will evaluate applicants based on publication record and professional achievements, with equal opportunities and preference for disabled applicants in case of equal qualifications. Applications must include two letters of reference and be submitted by October 22, 2025. Online interviews for shortlisted candidates will be held in November, and all applicants will be notified by the end of November. For further details and to apply, visit the application portal.
