This three-year position with no teaching requirement (PhD between January 2023 and August 2025) comes with mentorship and lots of social activity (weekly lunches, etc) in an interdisciplinary community. There are about 10 positions/year across all sciences, and requires naming a mentor in the Berkeley faculty.

CARES seminar

The Commutative Algebra Regional Expository Seminar (or CARES for short) is a virtual seminar that will begin in September 2024. This is a continuation of a regional commutative algebra seminar. The organizers are graduate students Stephen Landsittel (Missouri) and Alexander Duncan (Arkansas). They hope for two speakers a month with a generous audience of graduate students interested in researching problems in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.
In the past, the CARES seminar has been a popular means of sharing enthusiasm for newly-growing topics in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. In addition, speakers also obtain the invaluable experience of presenting what they have learned about to students outside of their institution. Often times, we also have a socialization event after the seminar such as virtual rooms where students can network and meet new people while beginning their journeys in academic research.
More information can be found on the CARES website.
