I notice that it has not yet appeared on the appropriate Macquarie website: http://www.pers.mq.edu.au/ads/index.html But it should be there soon! The reference number for the job is 19139. The appointee "will be supported by a substantial start-up grant and a new lectureship in the Department." I would be very happy to hear from anyone genuinely interested, or of good suggestions for possible candidates. I would also like to point out that good opportunities now exist for postgraduate study in category theory at Macquarie. Australian students can be funded by Australian Postgraduate Awards (APA) as usual. However, new opportunities exist for international students to have their fees waived and obtain a living allowance comparable to the APA. Of course, these Scholarships are awarded competitively. See http://www.mq.edu.au/postgrad/awards.htm Our category group (CoACT) is eligible for RAACE awards: http://www.mq.edu.au/postgrad/schl/RAACE.htm I also believe there will be things called iMURS advertised soon which include the waiving of fees. http://www.mq.edu.au/international/graduate/ I would be happy to hear from, or of, prospective postgraduate students interested in working towards a PhD in category theory at Macquarie. Yours truly, Ross
