NSF Awards RTG Grant to MSU Geometry/Topology Group

The National Science Foundation has awarded the MSU Geometry/Topology Group a Research Training Group Grant to support students and postdocs interested in geometry and topology. The co-principal investigators are Ron Fintushel, Effie Kalfagianni, Tom Parker, and Jon Wolfson, and it will be implemented by entire Geometry/Topology Group. The program will begin in September 2005. We are actively seeking applications for graduate school and for postdoctoral positions related to the RTG grant.
