About this opportunity
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.
