Postdoctoral Fellow in Mathematics

Moscow, Russia

International laboratory of mirror symmetry and automorphic forms of NRU HSE in Moscow invites applications for postdoctoral research positions in the field of Algebraic and Symplectic Geometry or Automorphic Forms.

Requirements

The general requirements for the postdoctoral fellowship positions are the following:

• Candidates must hold a recent PhD in the field of algebraic geometry, automorphic forms or related areas which was awarded over the last 5 years or received before starting work at HSE in a relevant field by an internationally recognized university and has been assessed by external reviewers as having the potential to pursue research that is publishable in leading peer-reviewed journals;
• Candidates should have a strong background in Algebraic and Symplectic Geometry or Automorphic Forms, ability to work in new directions in Homological Mirror Symmetry, blow up formulae in GW and category theory or conduct research with automorphic Borcherds products and applications of automorphic forms in geometry and mathematical physics.

• Relevant experience will be an asset although not required.

 The position involves:

●      working under the direct supervision of L. Katzarkov, A. Efimov, and V. Gritsenko;

●      participants are encouraged to pursue their own research along with working on problems of mirror symmetry, Hodge theory, mathematical physics, and applications of automorphic forms in geometry, number theory and physics;

●      writing research papers for international peer-reviewed journals in co-authorship with the members of the International laboratory of mirror symmetry and automorphic forms  (ILMS).

●      participation in the events of the ILMS and other contribution to the Lab’s  development including possible international programs of ILMS;

●      public presentations of candidate’s own research to the academic community;

●      some teaching is encouraged, though not required.
