postodoctoral position in random geometry at the Institut de Mathématiques d’Orsay (IMO)

Applications are invited for a postodoctoral position in random geometry at the Institut de Mathématiques d’Orsay (IMO) beginning September 2019 (dates are flexible). This postdoctoral position is funded by the ERC project GeoBrown (principal investigator: J.-F. Le Gall, senior researcher: Nicolas Curien). This project studies various aspects of random geometry. It focusses in particular on

– discrete and continuous models of planar random geometry

– random walks and stochastic processes on random graphs

– statistical physics models in random geometry

Applicants shoud send an e-mail to jean-francois.legall@math.u-psud.fr with subject [Postdoc GeoBrown] before January 15, 2019. This e-mail should include a CV (with a list of publications) and a short description of the research.
