Dear all, we are happy to announce the new Collaborative Research Centre of the University of Regensburg, in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Augsburg, TU Munich, and JGU Mainz: https://sfb1785.app.uni-regensburg.de/ [https://sfb1785.app.uni-regensburg.de/] The idea of this CRC is to promote and further develop motivic thinking in a wide variety of geometric contexts, such as algebraic/arithmetic geometry, topology, and Riemannian geometry. This CRC offers a workshop and guest programme and a number of PhD and postdoc positions, spanning higher category theory, algebraic/arithmetic geometry, homotopy theory, geometric topology, measured group theory, Riemannian geometry, Lorentzian geometry, symplectic geometry. We therefore welcome applications for PhD and postdoc positions for the first funding period (10/2026--06/2030)! We especially encourage women and members of underrepresented groups to apply. Details on the application process are available at https://sfb1785.app.uni-regensburg.de/index.html#opportunities [https://sfb1785.app.uni-regensburg.de/index.html#opportunities] Please feel free to forward this announcement to interested candidates. Best regards, Lyne Moser
