The Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI-BAS) announces two postdoctoral positions (R2 - Recognized Researcher) as part of the Topological, Computational, and Algebraic Aspects of Complex Systems Research Group, affiliated with the International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia  (ICMS-Sofia).

The Lupercio Group, led by Prof. Ernesto Lupercio, focuses on cutting-edge research at the intersection of several areas of mathematics, including:

• Applications of Machine Learning in Pure Mathematics, with emphasis on knot theory and complex topological structures. 
• Complex Systems and Tropical Geometry, investigating the mathematical foundations of emergent phenomena in algebraic and topological models. 
• Sandpile groups and their algebraic and geometric structures, exploring their role in tropical geometry and dynamical systems. 
• O-minimality and its applications in geometry, particularly in connection with definable structures and topological aspects. 
• Hodge Theory and its extensions beyond the algebraic setting. 
• McKay Correspondence and Representation Theory, with applications in derived equivalences and singularities. 
• Non-commutative and Quantum Toric Geometry, developing novel categorical frameworks for toric structures and their quantum analogues. 
• Self-Organized Criticality in Mathematics, exploring emergent behaviors in mathematical models inspired by tropical and algebraic geometry. 

Position Details

• The selected candidates will be affiliated with ICMS-Sofia, a leading center for mathematical research within IMI-BAS.
• The positions are financially supported by the Simons Foundation and funds from the Ministry of Education and Science of Bulgaria. 
• The salaries are competitive, and successful candidates may have the opportunity to transition into permanent positions at IMI-BAS.

Application Requirements

Candidates must submit the following:

• Curriculum Vitae (CV) 
• List of Publications 
• Research Statement/Plan 
• Three Letters of Recommendation

Application and Contact Details

The selection process will begin on March 10, 2025, and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. To receive full consideration, applications should be submitted by March 10, 2025.

Interested candidates should send their materials to director@math.bas.bg and arrange for their recommendation letters to be sent to the same address.

For further information, please contact Prof. Ernesto Lupercio at elupercio@gmail.com .
