The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics seeks a postdoctoral fellow to the project Geometry and Subspace Codes. The fellowship is full-time for two years with access May 1, 2022, or by agreement. In this project we will study geometric constructions of combinatorial objects for their use as subspace codes. The project will be implemented within the research group Discrete Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. The research group is currently in an expansive and interesting phase, with several new faculty members. Research is conducted within combinatorics in a wide sense, including topics such as geometric and topological graph theory, design theory, extremal combinatorics, finite and incidence geometry and coding theory. The appointed candidate will get the opportunity to carry out collaborative research according to a mutually agreed research plan and present research at international conferences. The postdoctoral fellowship is financed by The Kempe Foundations and amounts to 312 000 SEK per year. Umeå offers excellent working and living conditions. The city is young and located right next to a large river. It is surrounded by forests and lakes and lies close by the sea. In the vicinity there are plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor activities.
