Position Description

Three postdoctoral positions at the Centre for Geometry and Physics.

The Centre for Geometry and Physics at Uppsala University, sponsored by the Swedish Research Council as a Center for Excellence, has recently been established jointly by the Department of Mathematics and the Division of Theoretical Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Consult the webpages of the Department of Mathematics and the Division of Theoretical Physics for more information.

This call is for three postdoctoral positions for conducting research at the Centre. Research areas of particular interest include, but are not restricted to: algebraic geometry, Gromov-Witten invariants, wall-crossing, symplectic and contact topology, knot theory, supersymmetry, gauge/gravity duality, geometric methods for quantum field theories, generalized and categorical symmetries, integrability, conformal bootstrap methods, resurgence in quantum fields theories, and mathematical aspects of the Swampland program in string theory.

For those hired, there is an opportunity to apply for funding from the Centre for Geometry and Physics for an exchange year at the Department of Physics at Harvard University with Prof. Cumrun Vafa as supervisor. If the funding is granted, the position is extended from two to three years, with the second year spent at Harvard, and additional costs such as travel and part of the housing expenses covered by the center. The call will take place during the first half-year of the employment.
