Postdoctoral position in set theory, Sao Paolo (Brazil)

Dear colleague,

We would like to announce a post-doctoral position in the Departament of 
Mathematics of the University of São Paulo (Brazil) within the scope of 
the set-theoretic aspects of Banach spaces and related structures, to work 
in a joint project of Christina Brech and Piotr Koszmider (IM PAN, Warsaw) 
who will spend 3 months each year in São Paulo during the project ( 
http://www.ime.usp.br/~brech/PVE/home.html). This position is for a period 
of 12 months, starting between April and September 2015.

Candidates interested in related fields such as applications of forcing in 
analysis or set-theoretic aspects of C*-algebras, or planning to develop 
their interests in these directions are welcome. The extended group 
includes Valentin Ferenczi, Eloi Medina Galego and Artur Tomita and other 
postdocs such as Dana Bartosova and Brice Mbombo.

The postdoc has no teaching duties and will receive a modest monthly 
stipend of BRL 4100,00 (tax free). It also comprehends partial travel 
support and BRL 4100,00 as a support for the first expenses upon arrival, 
besides some small amount of money for travelling. These values should be 
compatible with a modest life in São Paulo, for example sharing an 
apartment close to a trendy neighborhood or renting an individual studio 
in regular neighborhood close to the campus.

The candidates must have obtained their PhD not more than 7 years before 
the starting date of the position and must submit their CV together with 
the name and e-mail address of two people who could give a recommendation 
letter to brech@ime.usp.br by March 15th. For further information about 
this position, please send us a message at brech@ime.usp.br or 
p.koszmider@impan.pl.

We kindly ask you to forward this message to anyone you know that might be 
interested in this position.

All the best,
Christina and Piotr
