Postdoc position in Oslo (topology including motivic homotopy theory)

Application deadline 3 May. Quoting from the ALG-TOP mailing list:

Dear Topologists

There is a vacant position as postdoctoral fellow for 2 years from September 2013 within the project “Topology in Norway”.

The project is a cooperation between research groups at the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. See  http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=92733 for more details (there  is a link to the english version in the upper right corner).

The application procedure is fully electronic via the above website.

Closing date for application: 3 May 2013

The aim of this postdoctoral project is to perform research and aid in the supervision of graduate students within the program “Topology in Norway”. The successful candidate will join one of the teams working on various aspects of algebraic topology, including stable homotopy theory, manifold topology, algebraic K-theory, and motivic homotopy theory. For more information about the aims and scope of this program, see the link to “Project description” on http://www.uib.no/People/csc021/TiN.html

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Best wishes,

Christian Schlichtkrull

A long list of postdoc opportunities

Having been through the process of finding and applying for postdoc positions in Europe over the last couple of years, here is now the big list that I wished someone had given me a few years ago.

Motivic homotopy theory in Bonn, and much more

The conference list is now updated with lots of exciting events for the summer. A small sample:

• Higher Structures in Topology and Geometry IV, Göttingen, June 2-4
• Young Topologists Meeting, Copenhagen, June 16-20
• Homotopy theory and derived algebraic geometry, Toronto, Aug 30 – Sep 3
• Geometric aspects of motivic homotopy theory, Bonn, Sep 6-10

I already mentioned the Paris conference on Cohomology of algebraic varieties, Hodge theory, algebraic cycles, and motives in last week of April, but there is still time to register.

Motives in Paris and Regulators in Barcelona

The Events page has been updated again. Some highlights:

• Copenhagen Topology Conference (Jan 8-10)
• Cohomology of algebraic varieties, Hodge theory, algebraic cycles, motives, in Paris (April 26-30)
• Regulators in Barcelona (July 12-22)
