Auburn University is hiring a two-year postdoc (with possibility of extension to a third year) to start in Fall 2026 as part of an NSF FRG grant on connections between commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and symplectic geometry. Per NSF requirements, candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents. For more, and to apply, see mathjobs.
This August, at Summer CAMP, early-career commutative algebraists gave elevator pitches on their research, aimed at other commutative algebraists, at mathematicians, and even at the general public. You can view video recordings of the elevator pitches on YouTube:
Elevator pitches aimed at commutative algebraists
Below is a message from Sara Faridi, Tài Huy Hà, and Adam Van Tuyl:
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of Combinatorial Commutative Algebra (CCA), a new Diamond Open Access journal dedicated to high-quality research in combinatorial commutative algebra and its interactions with geometry, topology, and applied fields. All articles are freely available to both readers and authors at:
[www.ccamath.org]
www.ccamath.org
Submissions: https://ef.msp.org/submit_new.php?j=cca
Combinatorial Commutative Algebra (CCA) is a fully refereed journal publishing significant advances in topics such as:
• Monomial and toric ideals
• Combinatorial aspects of homological algebra
• Combinatorial topology
• Arrangements
• Tropical geometry
• Applications to coding theory, algebraic statistics, and related areas
CCA is community-owned and community-managed, committed to maintaining the highest standards of scholarship while remaining freely accessible.
We also invite submissions for the inaugural volume, scheduled for release in late 2026.

Mats Boij is hiring a PhD student in commutative algebra at KTH – Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. KTH also has other PhD positions in related fields. More information can be found here. Application deadline: January 9, 2026.
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is hiring a 2-year postdoc to start in Fall 2026 as part of an NSF FRG grant on connections between commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and symplectic geometry. Per NSF requirements, candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents. For more information, and to apply, see the mathjobs post.
Syracuse University is hiring a mathematician for a slightly unusual position, that might be of interest to many commutative algebraists:
https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/27104
Help spreading the word! The position is labeled Assistant Professor, Quantum Information Science, but they really want a mathematician. It is in the Mathematics Department, and they expect to hire a mathematician, but the applicant should be able to participate in Syracuse University’s new Institute for Quantum and Information Sciences. For example, anyone that uses Koszul duality, D-modules, QFT, mirror symmetry or any other areas that have applications to physics would be excellent fits (as would math people in various other areas, such as parts of analysis, geometry, topology, probability, etc)! It’s a fancy job, funded by the Simons Institute for the first 3 years.
The due date November 15 but earlier is always better so they have time to read it.
The University of Minnesota is hiring a 3-year postdoc to start in Fall 2026 as part of an NSF FRG grant on connections between commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and symplectic geometry. Per NSF requirements, candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents. For more, and to apply, see mathjobs.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is hiring a 3-year postdoc in Commutative Algebra, as part of the NSF RTG grant Commutative Algebra at Nebraska, to start in Fall 2026. Per NSF requirements, candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents. For more, and to apply, see mathjobs.
The deadline to register for the 25th Kumunu has been extended to this Sunday, September 28th, at 5 pm. For more, see
