Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Application of Machine Learning to Pure Mathematics
Applications for this vacancy closed on 24 November 2023 at 12:00PM
We are currently inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate
(PDRA) to work with Professor Marc Lackenby at the Mathematical Institute,
University of Oxford. This is a three-year, fixed-term position, funded by a
research grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council
(EPSRC). We anticipate the starting date of this position to be 01 October
2024.
The successful candidate will work on machine learning and its applications to
pure mathematics. They will have the opportunity to develop their own research
programme and to collaborate with Professor Lackenby on the following
projects:
1. The development of machine learning as a tool for pure mathematicians, specifically the development of new conjectures in low-dimensional topology/geometry.
2. The elucidation of the computational complexity of some fundamental decision problems in low-dimensional topology, such as the homeomorphism problem for 3-manifolds.
We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional
Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress toward advancing
racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff
equality and diversity, we would particularly welcome applications from women
and BME candidates, who are currently under-represented in positions of this
type within the department.
Please direct informal enquiries to the contact details below, quoting vacancy
reference 168934.
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 a full list of publications,
a statement of research interests, and the contact details of two referees as
part of your online application. **(NOTE: Applicants are responsible for
contacting their referees and making sure that their letters are received by
