Level of qualifications required : PhD or equivalent
Fonction : Tempary Research Position
Level of experience : Up to 3 years
Context
Within the OURAGAN team, inside IMJ-PRG laboratory, the objective is to develop the theoretical approach and the experimental tools for problems related to low dimensional geometry and topology.
Conditions of a good research, in particular for scientific travel, will be covered by the team.
Assignment
With the assistance of Antonin Guilloux, the recruited individual will undertake the necessary work for a theoretical and experimental study of character varieties.
