Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 16:32:45 GMT From: Bob Oliver Subject: announcement European network on: Modern Homotopy Theory EU research project EEC HPRN-CT-1999-00119 Several years of postdoctoral positions in algebraic topology are available at the seven universities listed below, as well as in some other associated universities. Dates are negotiable: they could be for one year starting the 1st of September; but earlier or later starting dates and shorter stays can also be arranged. (In particular, since the program officially started on 1 March 2000, candidates looking for a position for this spring and summer will be very welcome.) Researchers in any area of mathematics covered by the network will be considered. Applicants must have (or be close to finishing) a PhD degree in mathematics. They must be citizens or long-term residents of an EU country other than the country where they will be working, or of a country associated with the EU in this context. They must be 35 years old or younger at the time of appointment. The terms of appointment will be in accordance with current regulations in the host country. The seven principal nodes of the network, with main contact person, are as follows: Aarhus Ib Madsen (imadsen@imf.au.dk) Aberdeen John Hubbuck (j.hubbuck@maths.abdn.ac.uk) Barcelona Jaume Aguad\'e (aguade@manwe.mat.uab.es) Lille Daniel Tanr\'e (tanre@gat.univ-lille1.fr) Louvain Yves F\'elix (felix@agel.ucl.ac.be) Paris-Nord Bob Oliver (bob@math.univ-paris13.fr) Sheffield John Greenlees (j.greenlees@sheffield.ac.uk) The main overall topics of the network are: Steenrod modules, classifying spaces and p-compact groups, algebraic K-theory of spaces, equivariant topology, rational homotopy theory with geometric applications, and numerical homotopy invariants such as Lusternik-Schnirelmann category. More details of the emphases at the individual nodes are given on the network web page, at http://www.shef.ac.uk/~pm1jg/mhrtn/rtn.html.
