2025-02 Recruitment Announcement for Senior Research Fellow Positions at the Center for Geometry and Physics

 

The IBS Center for Geometry and Physics (IBS-CGP) invites applications for several Senior Research Fellow positions.

IBS-CGP is working to bring the world’s leading scientists in mathematics together with young researchers to collaborate on research projects with passion and commitment. To this end, the center recruits based on scientific excellence and creative ideas, rather than pre-determined goals or demonstrated practical outcomes. IBS-CGP provides an open and autonomous research environment. The existing members of the center are working in symplectic topology, mirror symmetry, geometric topology, dynamical systems, algebraic geometry, number theory, and mathematical aspects of quantum field and string theory. IBS-CGP is located on the campus of Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in Pohang, South Korea.
Detailed research objectives and directions can be found on the webpage (
