[DMANET] Postdoctoral position in measurable combinatorics – LoGloS project (Prague, Czechia)

Dear all, I would like to advertise a 3-year postdoctoral position in measurable combinatorics at Charles University in Prague, Czechia, starting in January 2027 (or later by agreement). The position is funded through the project LoGloS – Local and Global Structure in Measurable Combinatorics funded by the Czech Ministry of Education and Sports under the ERC CZ programme (1 September 2026 – 31 August 2031). The project lies at the interface of descriptive set theory, combinatorics, probability, dynamics, and theoretical computer science. Its aim is to develop a unified framework for studying structural, combinatorial, and algorithmic aspects of local problems on graphs, groups, and Euclidean spaces, in both discrete and continuous settings. Topics of particular interest include: countable Borel equivalence relations and combinatorics of Borel graphs, local algorithms, random processes, and measurable dynamics, distributed and randomized algorithms, continuous and discrete tilings, connections between descriptive combinatorics, probability, dynamics, and theoretical computer science. The position is open to candidates interested in any of these directions, broadly interpreted. Researchers with related backgrounds who would like to move into these areas are also very welcome to apply. Position details: 3-year fixed-term postdoctoral position Salary: 75,000 CZK/month Starting date: January 2027, or by agreement Generous travel budget Location: Charles University, Prague, Czechia More information about the project and the position can be found here: https://grebikj.github.io/LoGloS.html Interested candidates are encouraged to contact me at grebikj@gmail.com, attaching a CV and a short research statement describing their interests and potential fit with the project. Applications received by the beginning of October 2026 will receive full consideration, and I expect to make a decision in late October. Please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone who might be interested.
