At least one of the 4 positions will be awarded to someone working on themes related to
geometry, algebra and their applications
(these topics can be interpreted in a rather broad sense).
The positions are rather generously funded, at least for the standards of Southern Europe:
the gross salary is €35000/year corresponding to about €2550/month after taxes;
a fund of €2500/year will also be available to cover for research-related expenses.
Application requirements
Applications will be considered only from those that have obtained their doctoral degree after 01.01.2023,
or those that have yet to obtain one but plan to do so by 31.05.2024.
To apply, each candidate must select a Department of Mathematics at one of the public Italian universities,
together with a mentor that is a permanent member of the chosen department.
Deadline for application
Deadline for applications is December 28th 2023, at 23:59 Italian time (aka CET).
Research in AG at University of Milan
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Milan currently has a large
research group in Algebraic Geometry
currently featuring 16 permanent members and 5 postdoctoral associates/temporary researchers.
Research themes represented in the group cover a wide range of topics in modern AG,
e.g., birational geometry, hyperkaehler varieties, stability conditions and moduli spaces, Hodge theory, algebraic foliations, derived categories, and many more.
We organise a weekly seminar and reading groups.
Application procedure and files

Set up an account and then access the system.
You shall need to upload the following documents:
copy of an ID;
a CV of the candidate, indicating date and location of the final doctoral examination,
and their current position (graduate student, fellow, researcher, etc.);
a list of publications, among which the candidate must indicate a maximum of 3
that they intend to submit for the evaluation of the application file;
detailed indication of the proposed research program, the hosting institution where it would be carried out, and the mathematician with whom they primarily intend to collaborate and who would assume the direction of the research;
links to pdf copies, without copyright charges and restrictions, of the publications indicated by the candidate for the purpose of the selection process.
It is also possible to send the selected publications in PDF format by email to
cascianelli@altamatematica.it;
a statement by the chosen mentor and the Head of (the chosen) Department who confirm that they agree to direct and host, respectively, the candidate for the duration of the fellowship;
2 letters of recommendation from 2 distinct mathematicians;
those should be sent directly from the recommenders to the email address
cascianelli@altamatematica.it no later than 23h59 on January 3rd 2024.
This deadline is a very strict one!
