Applications are invited for a full-time ERS position (leading to a PhD degree) at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Helsinki, within the Marie Curie ITN project MAnET.

Duration: 36 months

Starting date: September 2014

Living allowance + mobility allowance: According to the MC-ITN rules the basis for calculating the gross monthly living allowance of the recruited Early Stage Researcher is 38.000 EURO/year as a living allowance, plus a mobility allowance 700/1000 EURO/month (depending on the family status). These amounts include overheads and are subject to the applicable country correction coefficient to adjust to the cost of living of the country where the project is carried out. [In Finland this means about 3550 EURO/month minus taxes for an unmarried fellow.]

Mobility requirements: According to the regulations for mobility within the Marie Curie program, at the time of recruitment by the host organization, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organization for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior
to the reference date.

For all recruitments, the eligibility of the researcher will be determined at the time of recruitment and the status of the researcher will not evolve over the life-time of a contract.

Academic requirements: Master’s degree and less that 4 years
(full-time) research experience after Master’s degree.

Main research fields: Differential geometry, Geometric measure theory, PDEs, in particular, Minimal Surfaces. The recruited fellow will prepare his/her PhD thesis on
Minimal surfaces on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds and/or sub-Riemannian manifolds under supervision of Ilkka Holopainen. The specific topic of the thesis will be decided in accordance with the scientific background of the fellow. The fellow will actively participate in all events organized by the network.

Deadline for applications: May 31, 2014.

How to apply: Please, fill in the following on-line application form

https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/50516/lomake.html

Bonjour,

nous recherchons un candidat pour une thèse financée à l’Institut Camille Jordan à l’Université Jean Monnet de Saint-Étienne, à partir de septembre 2014. Date limite de candidature 16 mai 2014.

Titre : Méthodes de réécriture en théorie des représentations – Présentations cohérentes de la 2-catégorie des bimodules de Bott-Samelson.

Résumé : L’objectif est d’étudier la catégorie des bimodules de Soergel par des méthodes de réécriture de dimension supérieure. Cette catégorie s’exprime comme l’enveloppe de Karoubi de la catégorie monoïdale des bimodules de Bott-Samelson, dont une présentation par
générateurs et relations est donnée par Elias et Williamson.

Il s’agira, d’une part, de développer des méthodes de réécriture pour les présentations de catégories monoïdales, d’autre part, d’obtenir des présentations convergentes, i.e., terminantes et confluentes, de la catégorie des bimodules de Bott-Samelson afin de décrire les propriétés algébriques et homotopiques de la catégorie de Soergel.

Sujet détaillé : http://math.univ-lyon1.fr/~malbos/theseReecritureRep.pdf

Contacts : Stéphane Gaussent (stephane.gaussent@univ-st-etienne.fr) et Philippe Malbos (malbos@math.univ-lyon-1.fr)
