Postdoc position in permutation groups and graph symmetries

The Departments of Mathematics of the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (UP FAMNIT) and Andrej Marušič Institute (UP IAM) of the University of Primorska are seeking a top early-career researcher for a postdoctoral position in the area of algebraic graph theory and permutation groups, in connection with the research grant of Prof. dr. Klavdija Kutnar, "Extensions of Erdos-Ko-Rado theorem to transitive permutation groups" funded by the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency. The project aims to advance the theory of intersecting families in transitive permutation groups, with emphasis on intersection densities and the Erdős-Ko-Rado (EKR) property, and their interplay with symmetries in vertex-transitive graphs. Research directions include algebraic and combinatorial study of transitive permutation groups, development of computational tools (GAP/MAGMA) for analyzing derangement graphs, and applying these concepts to longstanding problems in algebraic graph theory.
