János Pach, research professor at the Rényi Institute, gave an interview to Trend FM. The occasion for the conversation was that this year Maryna Viazovska, the Ukrainian mathematician who became world-famous for solving the 8- and 24-dimensional sphere packing problem, received the László Fejes Tóth Award and its accompanying medal. János Pach spoke in the program about Maryna Viazovska's achievements and career, as well as about the renowned Hungarian mathematician László Fejes Tóth.

Call for Applications: Tenure Position in Mathematics

2025. 11. 15.

The HUN-REN Rényi Institute invites applications for a permanent (tenure) position as Research Mathematician. The primary criteria for evaluating applications are research excellence, publication quality, and international recognition. Additional considerations include a demonstrated ability to secure research funding, to lead a research group, and to contribute actively to a scientific organization, whether within mathematics in the strict sense or in interdisciplinary fields.
