Doctoral student in modern algebraic topology

A salaried doctoral position in the Division of Mathematics at Lund University's Centre for Mathematical Sciences. Research will be in modern algebraic topology with a focus on homotopy theory, partly funded by the Swedish Research Council project "Local to global extensions of topological quantum field theories". Related topics such as stable homotopy theory, higher category theory, homological algebra and geometric topology are also possible. Doctoral students attend seminars and conferences and may teach or take on departmental duties for up to 20% of their time.

Start no later than 1 October 2027 (reference PA2026/2717).

Second-cycle degree (or 240 credits with 60 at second-cycle level, or equivalent), including 120 credits of mathematics with at least 50 at advanced level and a 30-credit degree project; knowledge of algebraic topology; ability to work independently and formulate research problems.
