Postdoctoral Research Associate
About The Position
The Department of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Algebra-Geometry-Topology group, with a focus on Geometric Representation Theory and related areas at the interface of Algebraic Geometry, Representation Theory, and the mathematical aspects of String Theory. We seek a collaborative and motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong background and active interest in areas such as: Categorical braid group actions, Categorification of Lie algebras via algebraic geometry, Link homology from an algebro-geometric perspective, Coherent sheaves on Nakajima quiver varieties and affine Grassmannians, Quasi-map moduli spaces and their applications in representation theory, Interactions between the above topics and string-theoretic frameworks. This one-year appointment has the possibility of renewal for an additional year.
Requirements
- A Ph.D. in Mathematics or Theoretical Physics (with research relevant to string theory or quantum field theory)
Nice To Haves
- Have expertise in or a strong foundation in coherent sheaves, quiver varieties, affine Grassmannians and quasi-map moduli spaces.
- Have interest in the mathematical structures arising in string theory and supersymmetric quantum field theory.
- Show evidence of creativity and independence.
Benefits
- UNC-Chapel Hill offers postdocs comprehensive medical and vision coverage, paid leave, and benefits and services that support professional development and a healthy work/life balance.
