The Geometry of Varieties and Applications (GEOMVAP) research group at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position in real and non-orientable enumerative geometry. The role is part of a project funded by a Leonardo Grant from the BBVA Foundation, focusing on topological recursion and its applications to non-orientable surfaces and real structures. The successful candidate will investigate cohomological field theories, Givental–Teleman reconstruction in the real case, and enumerative invariants of non-orientable surfaces. Key activities include participation in an international conference in Berlin and a workshop at UPC, alongside collaboration within the GEOMVAP group and with international partners. The position is initially for one year, with potential extension, and offers a gross annual salary of €26,034.59. The working language is English.
