Almost a year ago I announced that there were open PhD positions on a Luxembourgish block grant called GRACE, but that at the time we were most likely not hiring anyone in a subject close to my interests. That has now changed, with the updated posting on MathJobs: there is a position available which is supervised jointly by Karin Melnick and myself.

It focuses on the use of representation-theoretic methods in algebraic and differential geometry, e.g., the use of equivariant vector bundles to describe zero loci on homogeneous varieties.

There is a significant focus on computational / algorithmic aspects, within this specific project and the greater scope of the GRACE project, and you will be part of a larger group of students working on computational aspects in pure mathematics.

So, if you are

  • interested in, and have a solid background in algebraic geometry and representation
  • a background in programming
and consider doing a PhD on this topic, please apply as explained on the MathJobs posting.

The position is officially based in Luxembourg, with ample visits to Utrecht University as part of the setup.

If you have any questions, please get in touch!
