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

We are deeply saddened to share with the community the news of the passing of Jesse Elliott, died on June 29, 2025, at the age of 52. Elliott was a student of Hendrik Lenstra, and was a Professor of Mathematics at California State University Channel Islands. Elliott authored the book Rings, Modules, and Closure Operations. Elliott’s forthcoming book Analytic Number Theory and Algebraic Asymptotic Analysis will be published posthumously in 2025.

Jesse’s obituary can be found here.

The new YouTube channel Commutative Algebra at Nebraska contains videos on topics within commutative algebra. This includes videos produced by the Nebraska graduate students, and video presentations from the International REU in Commutative Algebra held at CIMAT this summer and the FGFY REU held at UNL this summer.

This work is supported by NSF RTG Grant DMS-2342256Commutative Algebra at Nebraska, which supports activities for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs in commutative algebra. More information can be found here.
