Postdoctoral Research Associate in Derived Algebraic Geometry and Homotopy Theory
Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford | Oxford
Classification: Derived Algebraic Geometry and Homotopy Theory
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Dr Lukas Brantner at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a 2-year fixed term position and funded by the Royal Society. We anticipate that the successful candidate will take up the position between 1 February 2025 at the earliest and 1 October 2025 at the latest. The successful candidate will be part of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research in derived algebraic geometry and/or homotopy theory as part of the Royal Society grant “Tackling p-adic problems with partition Lie algebras” (RF\ERE\231095). They will have the opportunity to do so independently and collaboratively with other members of the group at Oxford and other mathematicians internationally. They are expected to provide informal mentorship of students in the group. Applicants will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in pure mathematics, and possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the discipline to work within established research programmes. They will have excellent communication skills, including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings. We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress towards advancing racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff equality and diversity, we would particularly welcome applications from women and BME candidates, who are currently under-represented in positions of this type within the department.
