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
2-year fixed term position and funded by the Royal Society. We anticipate that
the successful candidate will take up the position between 1 February 2025 at
the earliest and 1 October 2025 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 of 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 departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional
Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress towards 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.
