PhD Position in Quantum Mathematics

Job description

Centre for Quantum Mathematics (QM) at Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA), University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for a 3-year PhD position with a PhD thesis in mathematics. Targeted starting date for the position is 1 September 2026. The application requirements are detailed at the end of this advertisement. The project: Potential thesis topics are part of a larger project on derived and higher categories, stability conditions, homological mirror symmetry, Donaldson-Thomas invariants, 3-fold singularities, wall-crossing structures, cluster structures, flat surfaces, and spectral networks. The goal of the project is to build new far-reaching connections between algebraic geometry, dynamical systems, and mathematical physics using a categorical framework. Candidate Profile: We are looking for a highly motivated candidate within the fields of mathematics or mathematical physics. The successful candidate will have a solid background in mathematics, particularly in algebra and geometry, with knowledge in any of the above-mentioned topics a plus. The successful candidates will be expected to have: - MSc degree in mathematics or mathematical physics...
