Position Description

Two postdoctoral positions are available within the ANR project COSY: "New challenges in contact and symplectic topology". These are research-only appointments (without teaching) for one year starting in October 2024 (with some limited flexibility). As is usual in Europe, this employment comes with benefits including health insurance and social coverage. Funds will also be provided for traveling and inviting collaborators.

The successful candidate will be expected to interact with some researchers in contact and symplectic topology who are members of the project (for more details on the project and its members, see https://cosy.pages.math.cnrs.fr/en/membres.html). For this reason, the scientific project should explain how the applicant plans to integrate one of the institutions listed on the project website; to this end, applicants are invited to contact directly the members with whom they want to interact.

Applications are welcome in all themes of contact and symplectic topology. The scientific projects are expected to emphasize the connections with the two broad themes of COSY: Lefschetz fibrations and open book decompositions, and persistent homology.

Eligibility:

For holders of a Ph.D in mathematics obtained before October 1st, 2024.

Deadline:

Applications must be complete (including all reference letters) by December 31st, 2023.

How to apply?

Applications must be submitted via the online form.

Requested items:

- a cover letter specifying members of COSY with whom you plan to interact primarily, as well as the envisioned location(s) for the postdoctoral contract;

- a curriculum vitae;

- a list of publications;

- a scientific project (max. 4 pages);

- three detailed recommendation letters sent directly by the referees.

Contact (project COSY coordinator): Frédéric Bourgeois

Application Materials Required:
Submit the following items online at this website to complete your application:
  • Cover letter
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Research statement
  • Publication list
  • Three reference letters (to be submitted online by the reference writers on this site help popup)
And anything else requested in the position description.
