The Research Group of Dynamics and Arithmetic Structures on Manifolds (DASOM) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship beginning September 1, 2026.
We welcome applications from researchers whose work relates broadly to dynamics, geometry, and number theory, including (but not limited to):
Dynamical systems, including homogeneous dynamics, Teichmüller dynamics, arithmetic and algebraic dynamics, and complex dynamics
Number theory, including analytic number theory, Iwasawa theory, Diophantine geometry, and Diophantine approximation
Geometric group theory, geometric topology, and low-dimensional topology
Applications that build connections between two or more of these areas are particularly encouraged.
Researchers working on homogeneous dynamics, dynamics on moduli spaces, and Diophantine approximation are especially encouraged to apply.
The group maintains an active research environment, including regular seminars, research discussions, and visits by international researchers. Current research themes in the group include interactions between dynamical systems, geometry, and number theory, such as homogeneous dynamics, dynamics on moduli spaces, Diophantine approximation, and geometric structures on manifolds.
The position is intended to support independent research while fostering collaboration within the group. Postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to pursue their own research programs while interacting with faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. They are also welcome to participate in and help organize seminars and research activities.
The working language of DASOM center is English, and knowledge of Korean is not required.
Limited travel funding for conferences and research visits may be available.
Initial appointment: September 1, 2026 – August 31, 2027
Possible renewal: One additional year, subject to performance and funding
Teaching load: At most one research topic course per academic year (or equivalent service)
Salary and benefits: Approximately 50–60 million KRW per year, plus $3000 travel funds.
Qualifications
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics or a closely related field, awarded on or after January 1, 2022, and expected by August 31, 2026.
Applicants who expect to receive their Ph.D. by the start date are encouraged to apply.
Candidates should demonstrate strong research potential in one of the areas listed above and an ability to conduct independent research while engaging with the activities of the research group.
Application procedure will be announced on the week of 17th of March, 2026.
