Post-doc position

A postdoctoral position is available in the fields of applied topology, computational topology equivariant topology, topological methods in nonlinear analysis, or topological methods in dynamical systems. Candidates with other fields of expertise are also welcome.

The position is funded for the period of 24 months. The monthly salary is equal to 5500 PLN. Note that some taxes will be deducted.

No teaching duties but a declaration of extra research monographic lectures and seminars is expected.

The position is funded from the grant "Niezmienniki i Metody Topologii Stosowanej" (funded by Narodowe Centrum Nauki under contract 2015/19/B/ST1/01458). Preferred start of the contract is October 1st, 2016, but can be pushed back to March 1st, 2017. The candidates may feel free to consult the proposal for the grant from which the position will be funded.

Formal requirements: the candidate must have a completed PhD in mathematics or computer science no later than in June 2016. The deadline for applications is September 30th, 2016. The candidates are requested to send their applications by email to marzan@amu.edu.pl. Please include a scientific CV and copies of up to 3 selected publications. Also, please include a research statement (at most 2 pages) which explains how the applicant fields of expertise are related to broadly understood fields of interest of the grant's principal investigator (equivariant topology, topological complexity, Borsuk-Ulam type theorems, topological homotopy theory of dynamical systems, e.g. periodic points theory, nonlinear problems with a presence of symmetry) and how the applicant envisions scientific collaboration related to the goals of the grant.

Reference letters are not required, but will be cordially welcomed; their authors should themselves send them directly to the same email address. The applicants may optionally send copies of the referee reports of their doctorates.
