A position for a Post Doctoral researcher in pure mathematics is available at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Oslo in Norway. Here is a link to the official announcement, which is in Norwegian. The information on the present web page is wholly unofficial, and is only provided for the benefit of those not yet so proficient in that language. See also the department web page.
The applicant must have completed a doctoral degree in Mathematics, and must have documented academic qualifications within one or more of the fields of research of the pure mathematics section of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Oslo, i.e., mathematical analysis, algebra/algebraic geometry, topology/geometry and mathematical logic.
The position is given to the department in order to support research in the field of topology/geometry as pursued at the University of Oslo, and preference will therefore be given to applicants working in that field. The topology/geometry group at Oslo presently consists of professors Hans Brodersen, Per Holm, Bjørn Jahren, Jon Reed, John Rognes and Per Tomter, together with several graduate students.
The position runs for 4 years, and involves 25% teaching (on average 3 hours of classes per week, each semester). Most of the teaching should be in a Scandinavian language understood by Norwegian students. In the course of these years, the Post Doctoral researcher must either document formal pedagogical education, or follow such a course organized by the University of Oslo.
The primary aim of the position is research training. The applicant must present a plan for the proposed postdoctoral research work.
The application should include a curriculum vitae, list of publications, all scientific papers (1 copy), and complete certified information about education, earlier positions, pedagogical education and experience, administrative experience, and other qualifying background.
The University of Oslo wishes to employ more women in scientific positions; women are therefore encouraged to apply.
The application deadline is May 14th, 2002. Applications marked reference number: 02/4177 can be sent to:
Det matematisk-naturvitenskapelige fakultetFor further information, please contact professor Hans Brodersen at broderse@math.uio.no, or professor John Rognes at rognes@math.uio.no.
