Fwd: positions in Prague at IM CAS

[Andrés Villaveces]

Hola.

Creo que esto puede ser interesante, sobre todo para quienes trabajan en Teoría de Conjuntos (dos plazas de doctorado en Praga (Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences), para buenos estudiantes de maestría en Conjuntos, y una plaza tipo tenure-track de investigación en cualquier área de la lógica. Ver detalles abajo.

Dear colleagues,

I'm writing in the hope that you can help spread the word about two opportunities for positions in set theory at the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, namely two positions as PhD students and one as a tenure-track-type researcher. Some further details below:

1. As part of a new grant with the Czech Science Foundation led by myself, David Chodounský, and Šárka Stejskalová, we have money to fund two PhD students. Logistically, the students would likely enroll in the Department of Algebra of Charles University, from where they would officially receive their PhD degree, but they would be employed at the Institute of Mathematics and supervised by David and/or myself. The main topics of the grant are combinatorial compactness principles at small cardinals and generalized descriptive set theory at omega_1, but we would welcome students interested in any aspects of set theory. In case you know of any talented master's students who may be interested in doing a PhD in Prague, please put them in touch with me and/or David. I believe the deadline for applications to the Charles University PhD program is at the end of March, to start next autumn.
2. The Department of Mathematical Logic and Theoretical Computer Science at IM CAS has a job opening for a tenure-track-type researcher position. The position is open to researchers in any area of mathematical logic; I think that set theorists would have a reasonable chance of success. The job listing is posted here (it's the Research Fellow position). This is essentially the same position that David and I have at the institute; it is a purely research job with no teaching duties, though typically one can offer courses at Charles University if and when one wants. I sent an email directly to a few potential applicants already, but please spread the word about the position to anyone you know who might be interested.

Thanks, and if you have any questions about either of the positions, feel free to get in touch with me and/or David.

Best wishes,

Chris
