On July 5, 2024, Hyunwoo Lee (이현우) from KAIST and the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on disproving Kahn’s conjecture (1995) on matchings in d-regular linear hypergraphs. The title of his talk was “Random matchings in linear hypergraphs“.
On July 2, 2024, Kisun Lee (이기선) from Clemson University gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on a combinatorial characterization of symmetric matrices of symmetric tropical rank 2. The title of his talk was “symmetric tropical rank 2 matrices“.
The IBS discrete mathematics group welcomes Dr. Bjarne Schülke, a new research fellow at the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group starting July 1, 2024.
Dr. Schülke received his Ph.D. from the University of Hamburg in 2021 under the supervision of Christian Reiher and Mathias Schacht. Before joining the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group, he was a Harry Bateman Instructor in Mathematics at Caltech, mentored by David Conlon.
He has won the IBS Young Scientist Fellowship. The title of his YSF project is “Variants of the Hypergraph Turán Problem and Extremal Set Theory.”
Welcome!

The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG) in Daejeon, Korea invites applications for two research fellowship positions.
DIMAG is a research group that was established on December 1, 2018 at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), led by Prof. Sang-il Oum. DIMAG is located at the headquarters of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Daejeon, South Korea, a city of 1.5 million people.
Website: https://dimag.ibs.re.kr/
Currently, DIMAG consists of researchers from various countries such as Korea, the USA, Germany, Canada, and Australia, and the work is done in English. DIMAG is co-located with the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO).
Successful candidates for research fellowship positions will be new or recent Ph.D.’s with outstanding research potential in all fields of Discrete Mathematics with emphasis on Structural Graph theory, Combinatorial Optimization, Matroid Theory, and Algorithms.
These appointments are for about two years, and the starting salary is no less than KRW 59,000,000. The appointment is one-time renewable up to 5 years in total contingent upon the outstanding performance of the researcher. The expected appointment date is March 1, 2025, and it can be adjusted to earlier or later, but no later than June 1, 2025. This is purely a research position and will have no teaching duties.
A complete application packet should include:
For full consideration, applicants should email items 1, 2, 3, and 4 and arrange their recommendation letters emailed to dimag@ibs.re.kr by June 21, 2024, Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
Recommendation letters forwarded by an applicant will not be considered.
DIMAG encourages applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds.
