Postdoctoral Research Associate in Geometric Group Theory
1 week ago
We are currently inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Professor Dawid Kielak at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a 3-year, fixed-term position, funded by a research grant from the ERC. The successful candidate will be expected to be in post by 1st September 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The successful candidate will be part of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research in Geometry Group Theory and related fields as part of the ERC grant "HigherHyper". They will 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 or with other mathematicians internationally.
They will contribute to the activities of the wider Topology and Algebra research groups and write up the results of their work, either singly or with co-authors, for publication in refereed journals and proceedings. There will be opportunities to contribute a small amount of teaching to the department, of at most three hours a week during the academic terms.
We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award.
