[DMANET] PIMS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Combinatorics at the University of Victoria

Dr. Natasha Morrison and Dr. Jonathan Noel are seeking candidates in the area of combinatorics to nominate for a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) to be held at the University of Victoria in Canada. If the nomination is successful, the salary will be at least $60,000 CAD. A small number of top applicants across all PIMS member universities and areas of mathematics will also receive a PIMS Simons Award of $10,000 CAD. The fellowship is for one year and is renewable, contingent on satisfactory progress, for an additional year. The starting date is flexible and may be July 1, 2026 or later.

Applications should be submitted through MathJobs at this link before November 15, 2025: https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/27167. Interviews will take place during the second half of November. Candidates selected for nomination will then be directed to resubmit their application to PIMS for the second stage of the process by December 1. Informal inquiries can be made by e-mail to Natasha Morrison (nmorrison@uvic.ca) and Jonathan Noel (noelj@uvic.ca).

The University of Victoria has a thriving Discrete Mathematics Group with 5 research faculty, 2 teaching faculty, 4 adjunct faculty, 1 postdoc, an enthusiastic cohort of graduate and undergraduate research students, and a weekly seminar. We strongly value the experiences and qualities that people from diverse backgrounds bring to the group. As such, we particularly encourage applications from members of groups underrepresented in mathematics. An equity, diversity, and inclusion statement highlighting your experiences, current contributions and future plans for advancing EDI in mathematics will be required at the second stage of the process. We encourage candidates to include such a statement in the first stage application as well.
