Applications are invited for two Postdoctoral Research Associates in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics to work on research in Probability Theory. The probability group at the University of Cambridge includes Professors Jason Miller, James Norris, Pierre-Francois Rodriguez, Sourav Sarkar, Perla Sousi, and Wendelin Werner. The positions will be supported by the ERC grants held by Professors Jason Miller and Pierre-François Rodriguez. The positions come with generous travel funding.
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 successful candidates will have (or expect to be soon awarded) a PhD in mathematics and experience in research in Probability Theory.
Informal inquiries can be made by contacting either Professor Jason Miller at jpmiller@statslab.cam.ac.uk or Professor Pierre-François Rodriguez at pfr26@cam.ac.uk.
