Postdoctoral Position in Geometric Analysis and Mathematical General Relativity

Postdoctoral Position in Geometric Analysis and Mathematical General Relativity

Uppsala University

Uppsala, Sweden

Duties

The duties of a Post-doc are primarily directed at their own research. The work may also involve, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), other departmental duties, mainly related to teaching courses.

The aim of the research is to study various problems in mathematical general relativity and to develop geometric and analytic methods for the study of such problems. Of special interest are problems concerned with establishing a lower bound for the mass of spacetimes with certain asymptotics using methods from the calculus of variations, geometric measure theory and geometric PDEs.

Requirements

PhD degree in mathematics or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree in mathematics. The degree needs to be obtained by the time of the decision of employment. Those who have obtained a PhD degree three years prior to the application deadline are primarily considered for the employment. The starting point of the three-year frame period is the application deadline. Due to special circumstances, the degree may have been obtained earlier. The three-year period can be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in labour unions, etc.

The candidate should have a good command of spoken and written English, knowledge of Swedish is not a requirement.

Additional qualifications

A strong background in geometric analysis will be an advantage as well as earlier research results in the areas of geometric analysis and/or mathematical general relativity.
