Reading an article in Quanta mag on-line https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-octonion-math-that-could-underpin-physics-20180720/
I discovered a post-doc mathematician looking for a job in her field of Octonions and the standard model. Apparently some PhDs have a difficult time getting work at a decent college that would afford them research as well as instructional time. It would be unfortunate if the Doc in the article were not able to go ahead with her research field of what is essential the philosophy of the mathematical structure of the standard model of physics.
The standard model math algebra model could be improved to allow better field descriptions. It is possible that gravity won't fit into the theory directly, yet with better math something about gravity's points of contact with the strong weak and electromagnetic forces could support inferences about the nature of gravity
How is it possible that anyone very good at a special field of math with applications to quantum theory would not have lots of opportunities at public Universities; too many scholarships going to future NFL stars?
