Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geometry/Topology
 
The Geometry/Topology group in the Department of Pure Mathematics at the
University of Waterloo is seeking candidates for a post-doctoral position.
The position will be for two years to begin on July 1, 2010, subject to
funding. (There may be a possibility for a third year, but this is not yet
known.) The annual salary will be $45,000 and the successful candidate would
be expected to teach two courses per year within the Faculty of Mathematics.

We are seeking a candidate whose research interests are closely related to
the interests of our group, which include: low dimensional topology; gauge
theory; symplectic and complex geometry; arithmetic geometry; special
holonomy and calibrations; and applications of geometry to physics.

Each applicant must submit an application package containing a curriculum
vitae, a short statement of research interests and goals, and at least three
letters of recommendation, one of which should address the applicant's
teaching experience. Application materials and letters of recommendation can
be sent by email to puremath@math.uwaterloo.ca
or by postal mail to:

   Geometry/Topology PDF Search Committee
   Department of Pure Mathematics
   University of Waterloo
   200 University Avenue West
   Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1

Post-doctoral Research Fellowship in Mathematics

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research fellowship in
Mathematics, within the scope of the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT)
project "New Geometry and Topology" (PTDC/MAT/101503/2008), focused on
categorification, gerbes, quantum topology and quantum gravity.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Mathematics (or equivalent) obtained
preferably after January 1, 2008, and must show very strong promise in
the following research areas (in order of preference):
1) Categorification (categorified quantum groups, knot homologies etc.);
2) Gerbes.

Currently the PhD members of the project are: Rui Carpentier, Pedro Lopes,
Marco Mackaay,
Joao Faria Martins, Roger Picken, Goncalo Rodrigues, Paulo Semiao, Marko Stosic
and Pedro
Vaz. For more information about the project members' interests, please consult
the
publications page of our previous project:
http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~rpicken/NGT/Quantum_Topology-publications.html

The position is for one year to start before the end of 2010, with the
possibility of an extension for a second year subject to mutual
agreement and budget approval. The salary is currently 17940 euros per
annum, free of tax, with a minimum of 750 euros per annum support for
conference participation. There are no teaching duties attached to the
position. If appointed, the applicant will be based at the Department of
Mathematics of the Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon
http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/index.phtml.en

Applications should be sent by email to the project coordinator, Roger
Picken (rpicken@math.ist.utl.pt) as soon as possible, and should
include a curriculum vitae and a research statement. Three letters of
reference should also be sent directly to the same email address. All
messages received will be acknowledged. The closing date for applications is
23rd March, 2010, and we will make the decision by
31st March.
