Description du poste
Applications are invited for Postdoctoral Research Associates in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, funded by a grant held by Prof. Ailsa Keating. Applicants should have (or expect to be soon awarded) a PhD in a relevant field, a strong research track record, and may have previous postdoc experience. Candidates should have expertise in at least one of the following: symplectic geometry, mirror symmetry, singularity theory; or have training in the parts of algebraic geometry/representation theory related to Bridgeland stability conditions, cluster algebras, and quivers. Some expertise about connections between these areas and algebraic topology or geometric group theory would be useful but is not required. Duties include conducting original research in mathematics, developing individual and collaborative research objectives, proposals and projects, and disseminating research findings through presentations and publications. The role holders will be expected to plan and manage their own research activities, contribute to collaborative projects and funding proposals, maintain and develop their specialist knowledge, and communicate complex technical material. They will also be expected to build internal and external networks and contribute to the wider mathematical community. Duties may also include assisting with student project supervision and the development of student research skills, providing limited instruction, and planning and delivering seminars relating to their research area. The post is available from 1 September 2027 (or by agreement). The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.
