The Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University has 38 faculty staff members, divided into three divisions: Mathematics, Mathematical statistics and Computational Mathematics. The Division of Mathematics carries out research in a wide range of topics in pure mathematics, including algebra, representation theory, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic geometry, logic and topology. In particular the department has a large and active research group in arithmetic geometry, algebraic geometry, representation theory and topology, working in a variety of fields such as the Langlands Program, Shimura varieties, moduli spaces and stable homotopy theory.

Project description The position will be associated with a grant funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. We invite applicants working within Arithmetic Geometry and Representation Theory. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research interests include Shimura varieties, the Langlands Program, flag varieties and/or reductive groups and their generalizations, such as Coxeter groups and Kac-Moody groups.

Main responsibilities The main responsibility is to carry out research. The position also includes some teaching duties (up to 20 %), which may include supervision of students.

Qualification requirements Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
