Note:These pages make extensive use of the latest XHTML and CSS Standards. They ought to look great in any standards-compliant modern browser. Unfortunately, they will probably look horrible in older browsers, like Netscape 4.x and IE 4.x. Moreover, many posts use MathML, which is, currently only supported in Mozilla. My best suggestion (and you will thank me when surfing an ever-increasing number of sites on the web which have been crafted to use the new standards) is to upgrade to the latest version of your browser. If that's not possible, consider moving to the Standards-compliant and open-source Mozilla browser.

Postdoc at Macquarie

Posted by Tom Leinster

Posted on behalf of my friends in Sydney

The Centre of Australian Category Theory at Macquarie University is advertising a 2-year postdoc in relation to a project entitled “Working synthetically in higher categorical structures”. It would be particularly suitable for people who work in higher categories, 2-categories, or homotopy type theory.

Further information is available here, or feel free to get in touch with Richard Garner (richard.garner@mq.edu.au) or Steve Lack (steve.lack@mq.edu.au).

Re: Postdoc at Macquarie

Sorry to hear that. What operating system, browser and browser version are you using?

Re: Postdoc at Macquarie

My Firefox sometimes thinks the charset is UTF-8 while the content is declared as latin1.

Re: Postdoc at Macquarie

I passed this on to Jacques Distler, who runs this site. He says this problem shouldn’t be happening; the charset is being declared directly.

Do you know what Accept header your browser sends for this page?

Re: Postdoc at Macquarie

According to about:config the Accept header is

text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

Your server responds with a Content-Type of “application/xhtml+xml”.

When I remove “application/xhtml+xml,” your server delivers the page with Content-Type “text/html; charset=iso-8859-1”. This charset declaration is always correctly detected.

Re: Postdoc at Macquarie

When served as application/xhtml+xml, the charset should be read from the XML declaration,

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>

which is the first line of the response body.

I have never seen anyone complain that Firefox fails to process that declaration.
