The Role

Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral position in low-dimensional topology and knot theory in the research group of Dr Claudius Zibrowius.

The position will initially be for 24 months, with the possibility of an extension for another 6–12 months (not guaranteed). The starting date will be between 1 April and 1 October 2023, by agreement.

There is ample travel funding and there are no teaching duties.

The successful candidate will be working on projects related to the DFG research grant "Local problems in low-dimensional topology from the perspective of multicurves", through which the position is funded. Expertise in bordered Heegaard Floer homology and/or Khovanov homology is desirable, but not essential. The successful candidate will also have time to develop their own research programme and to collaborate with other people. Durham has a particularly strong profile in geometry and topology.
