PhD Position: Algebraic Topology

The Department of Mathematics at Radboud University (Nijmegen, Netherlands) is seeking two outstanding and highly motivated PhD candidates to work on PhD projects in homotopy theory.

One of the two positions will be under the primary supervision of Dr. Magdalena Kedziorek and the other the primary supervision of Dr. Steffen Sagave. Each position is funded for 4 years and has a light teaching load (10%). You will be encouraged to participate in relevant conferences, workshops and seminars, and to communicate your findings through publications in peer-reviewed journals.
