York North Yorkshire, United Kingdom University of York Full time


Applications are invited for a Research Associate position in the department of Mathematics at the University of York to work under the supervision of Dr. Bowman-Scargill on the EPSRC “Tensor and wreath products of symmetric groups” grant.

The aim of the project is to understand decompositions of representations of symmetric groups and related algebras. In particular, we wish to understand the Kronecker coefficients (which describe the decomposition of a tensor product of two Specht modules) and the modular decomposition numbers (which describe the composition factors of the Specht modules in positive characteristic) of symmetric groups.

Candidates will have completed, or be close to completing, a PhD in a relevant area of Mathematics. An ideal candidate will have a background in diagrammatic algebra, or categorical Lie theory, or in the combinatorics of Kronecker coefficients/modular decomposition numbers. The applicant should also show great potential at mastering new areas and techniques.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed
  • To conduct individual and collaborative research projects, duties to include: analysis and interpretation of research data; use of appropriate research techniques and methods; writing up of research results and dissemination through publications, seminar and conference presentations and public engagement and outreach activities; contributing to the identification of possible new areas of research
  • To contribute to the preparation of research proposals and applications to external bodies
  • To undertake appropriate organisational and administrative activities connected to the research project, including conference organisation, and the development of promotional or educational material including website maintenance and development
  • To develop and initiate collaborative working internally and externally, duties to include: the building of internal contacts and participation in internal networks; collaboration with colleagues on joint projects as required; participation in and identification of external networks in order to share information and identify potential opportunities for collaboration and possible sources of funding; attendance at and contribution to relevant meetings
