Position Description
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New Mexico seeks a postdoctoral fellow with research experience in a topic within C*-algebras, such as K-theory or semiprojectivity, that is connected to current research in topological physics. This appointment may be renewed for additional periods after one year as long as grant funding is available. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Terry Loring and will be able to continue their current research projects while also having the opportunity to engage in collaborative work with Dr. Alex Cerjan’s research group at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies in Albuquerque. This position offers a unique chance to bridge theoretical mathematics, physics and numerical simulations while mentoring in a cross-disciplinary group. This group includes graduate students and postdocs split between the two institutions and hosts student interns each summer. This position has no teaching responsibilities, but there is an opportunity to teach if desired. The preferred starting date is in August 2025. Review of applications will commence on February 21, 2025, but applications will be considered until the position is filled. The University of New Mexico is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and educator. Qualified women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates of all nationalities are encouraged to apply. Required Qualifications A PhD in mathematics or a related field by the start date. Proven record of discovery in mathematics. A research record in C*-algebras. Preferred Qualifications Experience using Python or Matlab. Experience in physics or mathematical physics research. A demonstrated commitment to student success, as well as working with broadly diverse communities. A complete application requires: • A cover letter that discusses your interest in physics applications of C*-algebras, your experience mentoring or tutoring undergraduate students, and your experience working with a diverse group of students or researchers. • A CV including a list of publications and preprints. • A research statement. • Three letters of reference. Letter writers can send letters to Amy Hathaway at ahathawa@unm.edu with subject heading “C*-algebra Postdoc Application”. If hired, postdoctoral fellows are also required to provide official transcripts to confirm degree completion prior to their initial employment with UNM.We are not accepting applications for this job through MathJobs.Org right now.
