At Lund University, a postdoctoral position should provide opportunities for scientific and pedagogical qualifications. Primarily, there is scope for qualifications in research, but also for some higher education pedagogy training. Teaching may also be part of the duties (max. 20%). A postdoctoral position is intended as an initial step in a career and as an opportunity to further deepen and broaden research expertise.

The position is part of the project “Local to global principles for topological quantum field theory” funded by the Swedish Research Council. The research will be in algebraic topology, including but not limited to stable homotopy theory, higher category theory, and geometric topology. The position shall include the opportunity for three weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning.
