in different areas of mathematics should follow naturally once an
adequate language of higher dimensional operads is developed. An ideal
candidate is expected to have some background in category theory,
algebraic topology or algebraic geometry.

For further discussion regarding the project, applicants are encouraged
to contact the supervisor, Dr Michael Batanin; email
