Dear Colleagues,

While we are still accepting late applications for postdoc positions, we
are now also searching for PhD students.

Euler International Mathematical Institute is a joint initiative of Steklov
Institute of Mathematics at St.Petersburg and St.Petersburg State
University.

Best regards,

Edward Hirsch

is required)
- Preprints/published papers (if available)
- Names of at least two senior scientists who are willing to write a
letter of recommendation for the candidate (they might be contacted by us)

Applications can be submitted from December 21, 2020 through *February 28,
2021*.

Applications are evaluated by the Admission Panel, and may include a
