Postdoc applications

To submit an application use the button below (opens in a new tab). The deadline for applications is

31 March 2025.

In the application you will be asked for the application number listed below (PD1-2).

Below are listed the available research areas. Note that the list may be updated up until the application deadlines.

(PD1) Geometric Group Theory and p-adic Lie Groups

Earliest starting date: 1 September 2025

Project area: Geometric group theory, Lie groups over the p-adic numbers, Bruhat–Tits buildings

The postdoc will carry out research within geometric group theory with a focus on limits of geometries over the p-adic numbers. The project will study geometric transitions of various p-adic geometric structures, will combine techniques from metric geometry, Lie groups, Bruhat–Tits buildings, symmetric spaces, and will find applications to the representation theory of p-adic Lie groups.

Funding agency: Villum Foundation
Duration: 2 years
Host: Corina Ciobotaru

(PD2) Operations Research and Mathematical optimization

Earliest starting date: 1 September 2025

Project area: Operations Research and Mathematical optimization

In this project new algorithms will be designed for creating timetables. The algorithms start with timetables that are overly optimistic with respect to some chosen criteria. The objectives are then considered as constraints that must be satisfied. Integer optimization and constraint programming will then be used to exclude timetables that are considered infeasible. The schedule is iteratively modified until a feasible timetable is obtained. The main case is the construction of timetables for courses at universities. However, the algorithms can likely be used in a more general setting in mathematical optimization. 

The successful candidate will have a strong background in mathematical optimization and operations research. Of particular importance is the ability to use optimization software (such as Gurobi, Cplex or similar software).
