Your next career opportunity

In this research-only role, you will join the ARC Discovery Project on 4-manifold topology. Work closely with Dr Arunima Ray on embedded surfaces and exotic smooth structures in four-dimensional manifolds.

You will deepen your expertise, build an independent research programme and contribute to high-impact publications.

What you will deliver:

• Lead and contribute to research on 4-dimensional manifolds within the ARC Discovery Project team.
• Develop an independent research programme, producing high-quality publications in leading international journals.
• Present research at seminars and conferences, and help prepare competitive grant and fellowship applications.
• Co-supervise and mentor undergraduate research students and contribute to broader research training activities.
• Support School service, outreach, and diversity and inclusion initiatives, including events and public engagement.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Hold a completed, or near-complete, PhD in topology or a closely related discipline.
• Bring demonstrated research experience in topology, ideally in low-dimensional or geometric topology.
• Maintain a strong, emerging publication record aligned with career stage and opportunities.
• Demonstrate skill in preparing research reports, manuscripts and, ideally, competitive funding applications.
• Collaborate effectively within diverse research teams and engage productively with external partners and stakeholders.
• Show proven ability to manage projects independently, meet deadlines and support student supervision
