Postdoctoral Fellowship in Combinatorics


We are seeking candidates in the areas of extremal and probabilistic combinatorics for a Postdoctoral Fellowship to be held at the University of Victoria. The salary will be at least $55,000 CAD funded jointly the research grants of the supervisors, Natasha Morrison, Jonathan Noel and Bruce Reed. The Fellowship is for one year and is renewable, contingent on satisfactory progress, for an additional year. The starting date is September 1, 2022 or later.

Applications should include: (i) a CV; (ii) a research proposal; (iii) a cover letter; (iv) three letters of reference, addressing the research potential of the applicant. Ideally one or more of these should come from outside the institution where the candidate studied/is studying for a Ph.D.

All applications and reference letters should be sent by e-mail to CombinatoricsPostdoc@uvic.ca. Full consideration will be given to applications received by December 31, 2021. Applications will continue to be accepted until February 28, 2022 or until the position is filled.

The University of Victoria has a thriving Discrete Mathematics Group with 6 research faculty, 2 teaching faculty, 3 adjunct faculty, an enthusiastic cohort of graduate students and postdocs and a weekly seminar. We strongly value the experiences and qualities that people from diverse backgrounds bring to the group and, as such, we particularly encourage applications from members of groups which are under-represented in mathematics.
