University of York, 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 Prof. Kasia Rejzner and Prof. Chris Fewster on the EPSRC Grant “Symmetry and measurement: a foundation for semi-local quantum physics.”

**Department**:
The Department of Mathematics at the University of York is a vibrant community of mathematicians with a wide range of research interests, including a strong group working in the area of mathematical physics.

**Role**:
The aim of the project is to study the problems of construction and measurement of quantum field theory (QFT) observables that are non-local, but instead have some weaker localisation properties, e.g. string-like localisation. The long-term goal of the project is to move beyond traditional ideas of localisation in QFT to build a framework for “semi-local quantum physics” that can handle boundary and relational observables just as easily as those with absolute localisation away from boundaries.

**Skills, Experience & Qualification needed**:

- Cover letter
- CV including publication list
- Research statement setting out expertise and track record relevant to the project.

**Interview date**: 16th August 2023

The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.

We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork
