Representation theory

…spaces and their connections with representation theory, algebraic combinatorics and knot invariants. The candidate develops their own results within the group, concludes a dissertation agreement within 12–18 months, becomes a member of the Vienna School of Mathematics, takes part in international collaborations, conferences and workshops, and teaches and co-supervises students. The 30-hour-per-week contract runs for 4 years from 1 December

Jessica Fintzen discusses symmetry and representation theory, including how mathematical ideas can describe infinitely many related objects at once. The conversation introduces the work recognized by her European Mathematical Society Prize and offers a personal account of research and life in mathematics.
