Postodoctoral position in Geometric Analysis – ANR OrbiScar

The ANR project Orbiscar invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in Geometric Analysis as part of the Differential Geometry team of the Université de Lorraine, starting September or October 2026. The applicants will be expected to work in the Institut Elie Cartan de Lorraine in Nancy, interact with other members of the Institute and the ANR OrbiScar project and take part in the scientific activities of the Geometry team. Candidates should have a Phd in Mathematics and will be expected to display some mastery in Riemannian Geometry and Global Analysis. All relevant applications will be considered but a special emphasis will be put on two themes relevant to the grant’s subject: -Yamabe and positive mass theorem in the orbifold and ALE contexts, -Study of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of positive scalar curvature metrics in a conformal class. Candidates having experience in the study of Mathematical Relativity, Minimal surfaces or Ricci flow will also be appreciated. Proficiency in French is not a prerequisite. The application should contain a resume, a publication list, a research summary and a research project, as one PDF file named Nameofthecandidate_application, sent to edc-postdoc-orbiscar@univ-lorraine.fr . Two referees should also send recommendation letters named Nameofthecandidate_letter to the same address. Applications and letters will have to be sent by January 10, 2026 for full consideration. For further questions, please contact Samuel Tapie or Nicolas Marque at edc-postdoc-orbiscar@univ-lorraine.fr
