Post-doc positions

The following two post-doc positions are funded by the italian FIRB project Geometry and topology of low-dimensional manifolds coordinated by Francesco Bonsante, Gabriele Mondello and myself.


The application time for the following position is closed on April 26th, 2012. Don't forget to ask two referees to send me a recommendation letter via email (adress: martelli at dm dot unipi dot it) before May 7th.

NEW! The interviews will be performed on Thursday May 24th at 11 am (local time!), as written in the official communication. If you cannot be in Pisa on May 24, please send me (via email) a Skype user name which we will use to call you at 11 am.

  • Institution: Università di Pisa, Department of Mathematics
  • Position: post-doctoral, 36 months, starting before end 2012
  • Subject area: Mathematics - Geometry
  • Location: Università di Pisa
  • Teaching load: no teaching load required (occasionally, mini-courses on specific topics on voluntary basis will be appreciated)
  • Salary: 35.000 euros per year (gross).
  • Funding: FIRB grant Geometry and topology of low-dimensional manifolds
  • Contacts: Bruno Martelli
The successful applicant is expected to work on the themes of our FIRB project, namely geometry and topology, with specific emphasis on 3-manifolds, hyperbolic geometry, and quantum invariants. The main duty will consist of active participation to the scientific life of the department.


The application time for the following position is not yet open. It is expected to start in the next few months.

  • Institution: Università di Roma "La Sapienza", Department of Mathematics (though there will be a strong collaboration with the University of Pavia)
  • Position: post-doctoral, 36 months, starting before end 2012
  • Subject area: Mathematics - Geometry
  • Location: Università di Roma "La Sapienza" (Rome, Italy) and Università di Pavia (Pavia, Italy)
  • Teaching load: no teaching load required (occasionally, mini-courses on specific topics on voluntary basis will be appreciated)
  • Salary: 35.000 euros per year (gross).
  • Funding: FIRB grant Geometry and topology of low-dimensional manifolds
  • Contacts: Gabriele Mondello (Università di Roma) and Francesco Bonsante (Università di Pavia)
The successful applicant is expected to work on the themes of our FIRB project, namely geometry and topology, with specific emphasis on Teichmuller theory, Riemann surfaces, geometric structures, anti-de Sitter and hyperbolic geometry. The main duty will consist of active participation to the scientific life of the departments. The successful applicant is expected to collaborate both with the departments of Roma and Pavia.
