The university of Aberdeen is currently advertising two positions at the level of Lecturer/Senior Lecturer. There seems to be a strong interest in our school in hiring in applied topology. I would therefore encourage those who are interested in this opportunity to apply for the position. The department is small, but very friendly and is particularly strong in algebraic topology and representation theory. Two in our topology group, that is Mark Grant and myself, are very active in applied topology. Anybody who is interested is welcome to contact me for an informal enquiry at r.levi@abdn.ac.uk
