"Research Associate - Quantum Geometry and Arithmetic"

Applications are invited for a Research Associate position funded by the Leverhulme International Professorship grant “Quantum geometry and arithmetic” (PI: Albrecht Klemm).

Candidates with a background in enumerative algebraic geometry, high energy mathematical physics, or number-theoretic aspects of quantum field theory are particularly encouraged to apply.

You will have a broad knowledge in any of the following subjects:

• Enumerative algebraic geometry.
• Quantum field theory and string theory.
• Relations to number theory and particular expertise in one of the topics relevant to the project.

You will have a PhD (or equivalent experience) in Mathematics or Physics, or be close to completion.
