University of Leeds - Job Opportunity


We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Category Theory Research Specialist to join our team at the University of Leeds. As part of our grant-funded project, "Syntax and semantics of two-dimensional type theories," you will work alongside Dr Andrew Brooke-Taylor and Dr Nicola Gambino to investigate how higher categories can be used to study logical systems.


The successful candidate will have expertise in Higher Category Theory and experience in collaborative research. You will work on the boundary of Higher Category Theory and Logic to develop new categorical structures such as bicategories and (∞,n)-categories, and their relationships.


In this role, you will contribute to the extension of fundamental connections between Category Theory and Logic to higher categories. Your responsibilities will include:



  • Investigating categorical structures and their applications in logic
  • Collaborating with senior researchers on the grant project
  • Developing new research ideas and contributing to the research community
  • Preparing publications and presenting research findings

You will be based in the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds, working closely with our experienced team of researchers. We offer a dynamic and supportive environment, with opportunities for professional development and collaboration with top academics in the field.


Salary: £45,000 - £60,000 per annum (dependent on experience).


We welcome applicants who are passionate about Category Theory and Logic, and who are eager to contribute to cutting-edge research. If you are interested in this opportunity, please submit your application, including a CV and a research statement summarising your achievements and future plans.


We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements and offer a range of benefits, including access to our state-of-the-art facilities and support for conference attendance and research travel.
