Job Description:
Position Summary The Department of Mathematics at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a
postdoctoral position in the Algebra-Geometry-Topology group, with
a focus on Geometric Representation Theory and related areas at the
interface of Algebraic Geometry, Representation Theory, and the
mathematical aspects of String Theory. We seek a collaborative and
motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong background and
active interest in areas such as: Categorical braid group actions,
Categorification of Lie algebras via algebraic geometry, Link
homology from an algebro-geometric perspective, Coherent sheaves on
Nakajima quiver varieties and affine Grassmannians, Quasi-map
moduli spaces and their applications in representation theory,
Interactions between the above topics and string-theoretic
frameworks. This one-year appointment has the possibility of
renewal for an additional year. Required Qualifications,
Competencies, And Experience A Ph.D. in Mathematics or Theoretical
Physics (with research relevant to string theory or quantum field
theory) Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience Have
expertise in or a strong foundation in coherent sheaves, quiver
varieties, affine Grassmannians and quasi-map moduli spaces. Have
interest in the mathematical structures arising in string theory
and supersymmetric quantum field theory. Show evidence of
creativity and independence.
