Postdoctoral Research Associate in Derived Algebraic Geometry and Homotopy Theory

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Dr
Lukas Brantner at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a
3-year fixed term position and is funded by the Royal Society. We anticipate
that the successful candidate will take up the position between 1 February
2024 at the earliest and 1 October 2024 at the latest.





The successful candidate will be part of a research group with responsibility
for carrying out research in derived algebraic geometry and/or homotopy theory
as part of the Royal Society grant “Tackling p-adic problems with partition
Lie algebras” (RF\ERE\231095). They will have the opportunity to do so
independently and collaboratively with other members of the group at Oxford
and other mathematicians internationally. They are expected to provide
informal mentorship to students in the group.





Applicants will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in pure mathematics,
and possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the discipline to work within
established research programmes. They will have excellent communication
skills, including the ability to write for publication, present research
proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.





We proudly hold a Race Equality Charter Bronze Award and a departmental Athena
SWAN Silver Award, which guide our progress towards advancing racial and
gender equality. As part of our commitment to openness, inclusivity and
transparency, we would particularly welcome applications from women and black
and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in
positions of this type at Oxford.





Please direct informal enquiries to the Recruitment Coordinator (email:
vacancies@maths.ox.ac.uk ), quoting vacancy reference 167769.





Applicants will be selected for interview purely based on their ability to
satisfy the selection criteria as outlined in full in the job description. You
will be required to upload a statement setting out how you meet the selection
criteria, a curriculum vitae including full list of publications, a statement
of research interests, and the contact details of three referees as part of
your online application. (NOTE: Applicants are responsible for contacting
their referees and making sure that their letters are received by the closing
date).





Only applications received before 12.00 noon UK time on 23 October 2023 can be
