Postdoctoral position in algebraic geometry

Budapest University of Technology and Economics invites applications for a postdoctoral position in algebraic geometry. The appointment is for two years, with a possible extension for a third year. Candidates should demonstrate exceptional promise in mathematical research and are expected to take an active part in the scientific life of the BME Mathematical Institute. The position is funded by the HAS Momentum (Lendület) research project “Geometric representation theory” led by Ádám Gyenge. Therefore, applicants whose research plans are related to geometric representation theory, moduli spaces or quiver varieties are especially encouraged to apply. The annual gross salary is approximately 32,000 EUR, complemented by an annual travel allowance of 1,000 EUR (exact amounts are paid in HUF). The position carries light teaching duties, which may be performed in English. Knowledge of Hungarian is therefore not required. Application deadline: July 31, 12:00 noon Central European Time (CET). Applications should be sent as a single PDF file to Gyenge.Adam@ttk.bme.hu with the subject “AG postdoc”. The application file should contain the applicant's CV, publication list, a research statement (at most 4 pages). In addition, two letters of recommendation should be sent directly by the referees to Gyenge.Adam@ttk.bme.hu with the subject “AG reference letter”. Shortlisted candidates will be notified in early August. The expected starting date is 1 November 2026 (negotiable). Informal inquiries about the position are welcome and are to be sent to the same email address with the subject “AG inquiry”. In Hungary, the net salary is typically about two thirds of the gross salary, unless additional tax allowances apply.
