POSTDOC POSITIONS IN PURE MATHEMATICS

(ref. BAP-2024-651)
Laatst aangepast: 07/10/24
Financed by the long term Methusalem funding, the KU Leuven research groups in pure mathematics collaborate within the research project “Classification, symmetries and singularities at the frontiers of algebra, analysis and geometry”, encompassing the expertise of the different research groups involved and focusing on some of the most challenging problems in algebra, analysis and geometry. In this large scale research project, several PhD students and postdocs are employed. We organize colloquia, seminars and advanced courses. In this stimulating environment, all researchers are exposed to a broad spectrum of mathematical research with several collaboration opportunities.

We are looking for motivated post-doctoral researchers with a strong research record in one of the following areas of pure mathematics.

• Algebraic and arithmetic geometry
• Random matrices, complex analysis
• Differential geometry
• Functional analysis and operator algebras
• Group theory and Lie algebras

The successful candidates will develop their own research program in pure mathematics. Special attention will be given to applicants who propose a research plan that builds bridges between two or more of the areas mentioned above. A more detailed description of the main research topics of the pure mathematics research groups at KU Leuven can be found here: https://wis.kuleuven.be/methusalem-pure-math/methusalem-lines-of-research.
Postdocs have the opportunity to participate in the guidance of PhD students. They are expected to animate the mathematical research environment by organizing working seminars, advanced courses, etc. Postdocs have a limited amount of teaching duties.
We strive to improve the gender balance and diversity in the pure mathematics research groups and encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply.
