I have two positions available for a student pursuing a Master's or Bachelor's degree.

Both positions will be for working in the SONATA NCN grant project "Algebraic Combinatorics in Representation Theory".

The scholarship will amount to 2500 PLN per month, for the duration of 12 months, with starting date the 1st of November 2023.

The candidates should write a Bacherlor's or Master's thesis in the topics of the grant, and ideally contribute to the development of software for Sage Math. A formal requirement to obtain the scholarship is to be enrolled as a student at a Polish institution (university level or equivalent). More information about formal requirements can be found here.
