Subject: Re: jobs Date: Tue, 4 May 2004 12:25:50 +0100 (BST) From: Peter Eccles To: dmd1@lehigh.edu (Don Davis) Dear Don, Here is a posting for the topology news group. Warm regards, Peter. ----------------------------- Later this year the present (Victoria) University of Manchester and UMIST (University of Manchester Istitute of Science and Technology), which despite their names are two separate universities, will be merging to form one university to be called the University of Manchester. The two departments of mathematics are enthusiastic about this merger and see our joining together to form the School of Mathematics in the new university as a real opportunity. The research strengths on the two existing departments are complementary and we have been collaborating for several years. Two new lectureships, one in Applied Mathematics and one in Pure Mathematics, are now being advertised. The appointments will be from 1 September 2004 or a later date as agreed. The closing date for applications is 31 May 2004. Manchester has been a major centre for work in topology for many years and so the pure lectureship may be of particular interest to topologists or people working in related fields. Current members of the geometry and topology group at Manchester include Kit Dodson, Peter Eccles, Hovhannes Khudaverdyan, Gabor Megyesi, Nige Ray, Peter Symonds, Ted Voronov, Grant Walker and Reg Wood. There are also groups working in representation theory and in dynamical systems with closely related interests. Further information about the new School of Mathematics can be found at the following website. //www.ma.umist.ac.uk/newmaths/ Follow the `current vacancies' link to find further particulars of the lectureships.
