Applications are invited for a Research Associate post in Geometry in the Department of Mathematics at King’s College London. The Geometry Group conducts research in algebraic geometry, cohomology theories, differential geometry, geometric analysis, homogeneous space, Lie groups, mirror symmetry, symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology. The permanent members of the group are Prof Jurgen Berndt, Dr Peter Jossen, Prof Dmitri Panov, Prof Konstanze Rietsch, Prof Simon Salamon, Prof Nick Shepherd-Barron, Dr Calum Spicer, Prof Giuseppe Tinaglia and Dr Mehdi Yazdi. This is a fixed-term post for 36 months. Candidates should have the potential to carry out research which has high levels of originality, innovation and depth that may lead to significant impact on their field over the long term, and have expertise related to Birational Geometry, Complex Geometry, Foliation theory or related fields. The post is available as of 1 July 2023. Responsible to: Dr Calum Spicer (Principal Investigator) The post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 36 months. This is a full-time post - 100% full time equivalent. Key responsibilities: Conduct individual and collaborative academic research in Geometry. Develop and undertake research of high quality consistent with making a full active research contribution, including establishing a track record of high quality publications. Lead a unique research project. Write up research work for publication. Attend and, as appropriate, present research findings and papers at internal academic meetings and external professional conferences and contribute to the internal and external visibility of the department. Undertake such specific departmental roles and functions as may be reasonably required e.g. rotation as seminar coordinator. Foster inter-disciplinary working within the department. Actively follow King’s policies including equality of opportunity, data protection, etc. The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post. |
