Senior Lecturer in Mathematics with focus on Analysis
Senior Lecturer in Mathematics with focus on analysis at the Department of Mathematics. Reference number SU FV-0170-13. Deadline for application: May 1, 2013.
Swedish “universitetslektor”; tenured position approximately equivalent to Senior Lecturer (UK) or Associate Professor (US)
The Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University with its excellent research record and long lasting traditions has acquired a very special place in Scandinavian mathematics. Professors and lecturers working at the department possess competence in different areas of mathematics ranging from algebra, geometry and analysis to mathematical logic and combinatorics. We are looking for a mathematician with outstanding research record working in analysis in a broad sense. Geometry with its central role in mathematics has shaped the department’s profile and unites different research groups; therefore the ability to use geometric ideas in mathematical analysis is especially distinguishing.
