Job Description

A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, College of Science, United Arab Emirates University. The position is funded by the Research grant “Towards the Classification of Quasi-alternating links”, UAEU Program for Advanced Research (UPAR). The position is for 12 months with possibility of extension depending on the performance and the availability of funding. Salary is tax-free and will be around 9,000 AED Monthly. The focus of the research is in the area of Knot theory. More precisely the use of different knot invariants to study quasi-alternating links. For more details, please contact Dr. Nafaa Chbili (nafaachbili@uaeu.ac.ae), PI of the above mentioned research project. The Post Doctoral fellow will work under the supervision and guidance of the PI of the project to study the quantum invariants of quasi-alternating links. The expected outcome of this study is to find obstruction criteria for quasi-alternateness leading to the characterization of this class of knots and links. The progress of the research work will be discussed through regular meetings with the PI.

Minimum Qualification

Ph D degree in low dimensional Topology or a related field.

Preferred Qualification

Ph D degree in low dimensional Topology or a related field.

Expected Skills

The candidate is expected to have a solid background in knot theory, and precisely has interest in quantum invariants of links and three-dimensional manifolds. In addition, he should have a track record of conducting high quality research in the field.
