You are expected to take an active role in research activities, developing both the research directions of the research group–in algebraic complexity theory, geometry and representation theory of tensors, quantum information theory, asymptotic spectrum duality and applications–as well as your own.

Tasks and responsibilities:

• Conducting independent and collaborative research, resulting in academic talks and publications in peer-reviewed international conferences and journals.
• Actively contributing to the research activities of the research group.
• Actively participating in local and international seminars and workshops.

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic researcher.

Your experience and profile:

• PhD degree in mathematics or theoretical computer science.
• Committed researcher, demonstrated by talks and publications at international refereed academic conferences and journals.
• Strong expertise in one or more of algebraic complexity theory, algebraic geometry, representation theory, tensor ranks, discrete mathematics and quantum information theory (and preferably a combination of these).
• Flexible, readiness to participate in interdisciplinary cooperation.
• Professional command of English.

Affinity with computational experimentation in mathematics (Python, Sage, Mathematica, Macaulay2, Gurobi, etc) is a plus.

We offer a temporary employment contract for 38 hours per week for a period of 24 months. The preferred starting date is to be discussed. The gross monthly salary, based on 38 hours per week and dependent on relevant experience, ranges between  € 3,546 to € 5,538 (scale 10).This does not include 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% year-end allowance. A favourable tax agreement, the ‘30% ruling’, may apply to non-Dutch applicants. The Collective Labour Agreement of Universities of the Netherlands is applicable.
