Center for Math. research2-year positions with the possibility of renewal of one more year. Last year nearly 40 post-docs (all mathematical fields) were hired. Application Date: Whole year.Post-doctoral fellowship at University of TorontoWith teaching duties. Although no specific domain is mentioned in the ad, candidates from model theory are encouraged to apply. Some competence in functional analysis would be desirable. Starting date: July 2026. Recommended deadline: December 15th, but applications may be reviewed as long as positions remain available. For further information write to Franklin Tall.POCOCOP PhD and Postdoc positions at TU Dresden or TU WienThe ERC Synergy Grant POCOCOP (Polynomial-time computation: opening the black boxes in constraint problems) is offering several postdoc and PhD positions at TU Wien and TU Dresden. The goal of the project is to systematically explore polynomial-time tractability in the field of constraint satisfaction and its extensions, in particular promise CSPs, valued CSPs, and CSPs over infinite domains. The project is jointly led by three principal investigators: Manuel Bodirsky (TU Dresden), Michael Pinsker (TU Vienna), and Libor Barto (Charles University, Prague).We are looking for highly motivated and creative candidates and in particular encourage female researchers to apply. The applicants should have a strong background in at least one of the following fields: theoretical computer science, universal algebra, or model theory. For the PhD positions the requirements are a Master's degree or equivalent in mathematics or computer science. For the Postdoc positions the requirements are a PhD or equivalent in mathematics or computer science. Successful candidates will be based at TU Wien or TU Dresden, but collaborate with the other two groups intensively. For full consideration, we encourage applicants to express their interest by the 31st of December 2025. The duration of the positions will be up to 3 years. The positions come with a very good salary, are fully funded from the ERC grant and carry no teaching load; however, if desired participation in teaching might be arranged. There is sufficient funding for conference and research exchange trips. Applicants should send a motivation letter, CV, a statement of research experience and interests, and a list of publications (if applicable) in a single PDF file to: jobs(at)acronym_of_the_grant(dot)eu . The application may also include a short annotation of at most three of their best papers; in the case of the PhD positions, a copy of the Master's thesis should be included. Applicants should moreover arrange for at least two recommendation letters to be sent directly to the same email address. Informal inquiries are very welcome. ANR project MAS Lyon postdoc announcementOne post-doctoral position at the Lyon node of project MAS – Model theory of Algebraic Structures, funded by the French National Research Agency.

Duration two years. Salary around 2400 € net. No teaching duties. Expected starting date September or October 2026 but negotiable. Applicants should have a strong background in model theory or in one of the fields adjacent to the project (group theory, field theory, ergodic theory). Application (or further information), by direct email to Frank O. Wagner at Lyon, should include: detailed CV + list of publications, research statement, short cover letter. Also arrange for at least two recommendation letters to be sent directly to Wagner. Deadline March 1st, 2026. |
