The postdoctoral training supported by the RTG award is anchored on five thematic years emphasizing different aspects of our combinatorial, arithmetic, and topological approaches to study algebraic varieties. To this end, we run year-long learning seminars focusing on the year's mathematical theme. Learning seminars begin by reading foundational papers and specialize as the year progresses, evolving in the Spring semester into working groups on small research problems suggested by the organizing faculty. For more information on these activities, follow this link.

Each May, our group runs an RTG Workshop and group retreat complementing the learning seminars that took place the prior Autumn and Spring semesters. For more information, follow this link.

In preparation to the these activities, faculty in our group run graduate topics courses related to the subjects central to the following year's mathematical theme. For more information on these activities, follow this link.

In addition, we have several weekly research seminars related to the topics of this RTG: the Algebraic Geometry Seminar, the Arithmetic Geometry Seminar, the Number Theory Seminar and the Representation Theory Seminar.

The RTG grant will support the hiring of a total of five 3-year long postdoctoral positions.

These positions provide promising mathematicians the opportunity to begin their careers in an active and stimulating research environment, with attractive teaching assignments and with ample opportunity for contact with senior research mathematicians. Appointments are for three years, non-tenured, and non-renewable. The teaching load is two courses per academic year. Applicants should have strong research potential and a commitment to high quality classroom instruction. Field of research should be consonant with the areas of Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry, Topology, Number Theory, Combinatorics and Representation Theory. Eligible candidates must be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States or its territories and possessions. They may not have held the doctoral degree for more than two years as of January 1 of the year in which their appointment begins.

The first round of applications is now open. To apply please visit www.mathjobs.org and then follow the link to submit your application through Workday.

The past and current RTG postdoctoral fellows at OSU can be found here.

Foreign applicants are encouraged to apply to the ZAP/RAP positions in the Department of Mathematics at The Ohio State University, specifying their interest in the group activities.
