Position Description:

The Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI-BAS) announces two postdoctoral positions (R2 - Recognized Researcher) as part of the Topological, Computational, and Algebraic Aspects of Complex Systems Research Group, affiliated with the International Center for Mathematical Science - Sofia (ICMS-Sofia).

The Lupercio Group, led by Prof. Ernesto Lupercio, focuses on cutting-edge research at the intersection of several areas of mathematics, including:

• Applications of Machine Learning in Pure Mathematics, with emphasis on knot theory and complex topological structures.

• Complex Systems and Tropical Geometry, investigating the mathematical foundations of emergent phenomena in algebraic and topological models.

• Sandpile groups and their algebraic and geometric structures, exploring their role in tropical geometry and dynamical systems.

• O-minimality and its applications in geometry, particularly in connection with definable structures and topological aspects.

• Hodge Theory and its extensions beyond the algebraic setting.

• McKay Correspondence and Representation Theory, with applications in derived equivalences and singularities.

• Non-commutative and Quantum Toric Geometry, developing novel categorical frameworks for toric structures and their quantum analogues.

• Self-Organized Criticality in Mathematics, exploring emergent behaviors in mathematical models inspired by tropical and algebraic geometry.

Position Details

• The selected candidates will be affiliated with ICMS-Sofia, a leading center for mathematical research within IMI-BAS.

• The positions are financially supported by the Simons Foundation and funds from the Ministry of Education and Science of Bulgaria.

• The salaries are competitive, and successful candidates may have the opportunity to transition into permanent positions at IMI-BAS.

Application Requirements

Candidates must submit the following::

• Curriculum Vitae (CV)

• List of Publications

• Research Statement/Plan

• Three Letters of Recommendation

Application and Contact Details

The selection process will begin on March 10, 2025, and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. To receive full consideration, applications should be submitted by March 10, 2025.

Interested candidates should send their materials to director@math.bas.bg and arrange for their recommendation letters to be sent to the same address.

For further information, please contact Prof. Ernesto Lupercio at elupercio@gmail.com.
