Deadline: 1 dec 2018
Dear colleagues,
We are offering a one year post-doctoral position at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques Jean Leray (Univ. Nantes, France) in the working group Geometry and Global Analysis. It is funded by the Centre Henri Lebesgue and the ANR grant "CCEM - Curvature constraints on metric spaces", which focuses on the interactions between Riemannian geometry and geometrical analysis on metric spaces. A more detailed description of the project and the position is given below.
Could you please forward this offer to all interested colleagues ?
For the CCEM project in Nantes, Gilles Carron and Samuel Tapie.

CCEM - Curvature constraints and Metric Spaces (ANR grant 17-CE40-0034)
A fundamental problem in Riemannian geometry is to understand "spaces of metrics" satisfying variours curvature constraints. These spaces can be endowed with topologies, as the Gromov-Hausdorff one. When non compact it is natural to try to complete them by introducing singular metrics. This has led to the definition of several classes of singular metric spaces, studied for their links to Riemannian manifolds but also for themselves. Our project gather French geometers specialists in topology, Ricci flow, analysis on manifolds and sungular metrics spaces, with the aim to study these spaces of Riemannian or generalized metrics by combining our approaches and techniques. We envision questions of existence-uniqueness of "best metric" in a given class, of homotopy type of classes of metrics, generalisations of the theory of limits under Ricci bounds, as well as the study of some stratified spaces with conical iterated metrics.
