We are looking for a postdoctoral research assistant on the project “Bi-synchronizing automata, outer automorphism groups of Higman–Thompson groups, and automorphisms of the shift”. The Principal Investigator is Collin Bleak; I am the co-I.
The project involves an interesting mix of algebra, analysis and combinatorics: the description mentions “infinite groups of homeomorphisms […] automorphism groups of shift spaces, automata groups, the extended family of R. Thompson groups, enumerative combinatorics, and/or GAP coding”.
