Postdoctoral Research Associate in Mathematical Physics

We invite applications for two Postdoctoral Research Associates to join the
Mathematical Physics research group based at the Mathematical Institute of the
University of Oxford. These posts are funded by the Royal Society through the
project “Quantum perturbation theory at large orders” of Dr Erik Panzer (grant
RF\ERE\201473). The start dates of these two posts are flexible. We
particularly welcome applications from individuals who are able to start
between 01 February 2024 and 01 October 2024.





The post holder’s research should contribute towards the project goals (see
project website), e.g. in the development of mathematical and computational
aspects of multi-loop Feynman integrals, Kontsevich deformation quantization,
related special functions, or asymptotics and resummation of perturbation
series. The successful candidate will manage and conduct their own academic
research and administrative activities, write up their results for
publication, and participate fully in the activities of the research community
at Oxford.





Applicants will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or a
related discipline, and possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the
discipline to contribute to the project. 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 toward 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 under-represented in positions of this
type at Oxford.
