Postdoctoral Research Associate in Mathematical Physics

Closes:

Salary: £41,636 – £47,779 per year

0

We are currently inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Professors Mezei, Schafer-Nameki, and Sparks at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. These are three-year, fixed-term positions, funded by three different research grants from the ERC, UKRI, and STFC. The successful candidate will be expected to be in post by 1 October 2027.

The successful candidates will be part of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research in either 1) many-body quantum chaos and related fields, 2) application of generalized symmetries to many-body quantum systems and quantum information, 3) low-dimensional or twisted holography and its interplay with generalized symmetries. They will all be expected to conduct research which falls within the remit of this large-scale project and will have the opportunity to do so in several ways including independently, collaboratively with other members of the group at Oxford and/or with other mathematicians internationally.

They will contribute to the activities of the wider Mathematical Physics research group and write up the results of their work, either singly or with co-authors, for publication in refereed journals and proceedings.

We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award.

Please direct informal enquiries to the HR Administrator (email: recruitment@maths.ox.ac.uk), quoting vacancy reference 189690.

Reference Letters: Applicants are responsible for contacting three referees and ensuring that reference letters are uploaded to the portal by the closing date. Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. Only applications received before 12.00 noon UK time on Friday 30th November can be considered.
