02 Ph.D. positions in Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry, University Of Amsterdam.

 About the Project:

The Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics (KdVI) of the University of Amsterdam recruiting 2 PhD position in Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry.

First project- Guided by Lenny Taelman, part of the ERC Consolidator grant ‘Zeta functions and Fourier–Mukai transforms’. This is a project directing to discover the delicate relations between two central areas of algebraic geometry, derived categories of coherent sheaves, and arithmetic algebraic geometry.

Second project- Guided by Arno Kret, part of the VIDI grant ‘Shimura varieties and the Langlands conjecture’. This project is about a study of the arithmetic of Shimura varieties modulo prime numbers, by using the Langlands-Kottwitz method.

Subject areas: Algebraic, Arithmetic Geometry and Mathematics or related fields.

Qualifications: Master’s degree in mathematics

Requirements:

1.  Strong background in algebraic geometry.
2. Brilliant writing and communication skills in English;
