[Job-offers-cs] Research Fellow position in algebraic graph theory at The University of Melbourne

[Pekka Orponen]

Research Fellow position in algebraic graph theory at The University of 
Melbourne


The School of Mathematics and Statistics at The University of Melbourne 
is seeking a full-time Research Fellow to work on an ARC funded project 
in algebraic graph theory. The position is for two years, with the 
possibility of extension for up to one additional year. The expected 
starting date is July 1, 2025, but an earlier or slightly later 
commencement date is possible.

This postdoctoral position is associated with an ARC Discovery Project 
led by Sanming Zhou and Binzhou Xia. The goal of the project is to study 
perfect codes in selected classes of Cayley graphs, with a focus on 
their existence, construction and connection with underlying groups.

The candidate should have a PhD in mathematics with strong expertise in 
one or more of the following areas: symmetry of graphs (in particular, 
vertex-transitive graphs, Cayley graphs and their applications); group 
theory (in particular, actions of finite groups on combinatorial 
structures, representations and characters of groups); combinatorics (in 
particular, designs, codes, and their links to graphs and algebraic 
structures).
