Two postdoctoral positions in large cardinals and the axiom of choice, Norwich (England), Deadline: 21 Jul 2020

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research positions to work 
with Dr Asaf Karagila at the University of East Anglia on the project 
"Understanding the axioms: the interactions of the Axiom of Choice with 
large cardinal axioms" funded by UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship 
MR/T021705/1.

The project aims to better understand the tools currently missing for 
consistency results related to large cardinals without the axiom of 
choice. Specifically, improving upon the basic tools for lifting 
elementary embeddings to symmetric extensions, and the iterations thereof. 
Successful candidates will have (or be closed to submitting) a PhD in a 
relevant area of mathematics, most likely set theory, although not 
necessarily with focus on results concerning large cardinals or the axiom 
of choice. For any questions about the posts or the research project, 
please contact Dr Asaf Karagila, a.karagila@uea.ac.uk

Applicants should have a relevant PhD (or be about to obtain) or 
equivalent professional experience in the research area and be able to 
fulfil all essential elements of the person specification.

These full time posts are available from 15 September 2020 or as soon as
possible thereafter. The positions are initially for a fixed term of 24 months
initially but may be extended for upto 21 additional months.

regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, nationality, race, religion or
sexual orientation. All appointments are made on merit. Our policies and
