I am advertising a PhD position, with a start date of 1 October 2024, at Queen’s University Belfast. The ideal candidate is somebody with a strong undergraduate/Master’s-level background in algebra, combinatorics, or number theory, with a particular fascination for asymptotic group theory or additive combinatorics. Nominally the topic is “diameter bounds for irreducible linear groups generated by long root elements”, which refers to an important subquestion about diameter bounds for finite classical groups, but the ideal candidate would have a strong inclination to branch out beyond this specific goal into broader questions of asymptotic group theory. For the full official advertisement, see the link below!
