Preferential consideration will be given to applicants whose research is of interest to the members of the Algebra and Geometry group. Examples (not a comprehensive list) of such areas are: Algebraic groups and related topics, automorphic forms, derived categories in algebraic geometry, infinite-dimensional Lie theory, K-theory, mathematical physics and mirror symmetry.

The successful candidate will establish their own research program, supervise graduate students and teach at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Applicants will have a PhD degree or international equivalent, demonstrated accomplishments and outstanding promise in research as well as a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate teaching.

The University of Alberta has one of the leading Mathematics departments in Canada, with strong connections to other mathematical institutes, such as the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), and the Banff International Research Station (BIRS).
