The Division of Mathematics at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg invites applications for several two-year postdoctoral positions starting August 1, 2016 or as agreed.
Outstanding applications from all mathematical research areas will be considered. Precedence will however be given to those who have a research profile compatible with existing research areas at the division. You are encouraged to make an initial contact with a potential mentor at the division before applying and to indicate this person in your application.
About the division and the department At the Division of Mathematics we conduct research at a high international level in areas such as algebraic geometry, number theory, algebra and representation theory, harmonic analysis and partial differential equations, computational mathematics and optimization, discrete mathematics and probability theory, complex analysis, functional analysis, kinetic theory, general relativity and biomathematics.
