Excellent young researchers are invited to apply for a postdoctoral research position within the project "Homological and geometric methods in algebra" financed by the Norwegian Research Council at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, NTNU. The postdoc shall conduct research on selected aspects of algebra covered by the algebra group at NTNU (http://www.math.ntnu.no/mat/alg/), especially connected with Hochschild cohomology, triangulated and derived categories, the geometry of quiver representations and cluster algebras/categories.

Qualified applicants should have a PhD in Mathematics. Relevant experience is preferable.

For more information regarding the position, please contact Professor Idun Reiten (phone +47 73 59 17 42, e-mail Idun.Reiten@math.ntnu.no).

The appointment is available for a period of 1 year with the possibility for an extension for upto 1 year.

The application must contain information about education, examinations and previous experience. Certified copies of testimonies and documents must be attached. Applicants should submit a research plan demonstrating how they can contribute to the research project. This plan should preferably be given in cooperation with the algebra group in Department of Mathematical Sciences. Three copies of the publications and any other work which the applicant wishes to be taken into account should also be enclosed. Joint work will be considered. If it is difficult to specify the input of the applicant in a joint work, a short summary should be attached outlining the applicant?s input.
