Research Associate in Mathematics or Mathematical Physics
School of Mathematics

Applications are invited for a Research Associate in Mathematics or Mathematical Physics in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University. The position is part of a collaborative project between Dr Simon Wood (Cardiff) and Professor Christian Korff (Glasgow) and their international network of collaborators. More details regarding the aims of the project and guidance for prospective applicants can be found on its dedicated webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/imvoa/home

The post comes with secured funding for computer equipment (laptop) and travel (between both institutions, to national and international workshops/conferences as well as to overseas collaborators).

A strong background in mathematical physics and algebra is essential, in particular expertise in one or more of the areas of conformal field theory, vertex operator algebras and related representation theory, symmetric functions or quantum integrable systems is highly desirable.

Excellent communication skills and a high proficiency in presenting mathematics are also required. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow. For example, part of the project funds an international summer school and workshop and candidates are expected to actively contribute to the planning and organisation of both.

This position is full-time, 35 hours per week and fixed term for 24 months.
The post is available 1st October 2023.
Salary range: £35,333 – £42,155 per annum (Grade 6)
