Postdoctoral Research Associate

The Opportunity:

We are looking for an early career postdoctoral researcher interested in Euclidean harmonic analysis to work with Jonathan Hickman as part of the EPSRC funded project Algebraic Methods in Harmonic Analysis. The candidate will also be encouraged to continue to develop their own independent research, in a supportive environment. The post is available on a full-time basis and comes with a package of funds to support travel and equipment.

The project will investigate the Kakeya conjecture, Fourier restriction conjecture, and related problems. We encourage applications from early career candidates with a track record of research related to these themes, interpreted in a very broad sense. This includes (but is not limited to) candidates with expertise in harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, incidence geometry, additive combinatorics or analysis of dispersive PDE. Prior direct research experience on the topics of the project is not required; however, candidates should be interested in working in this area (in addition to developing their own research interests) for the duration of the postdoc. 

The University of Edinburgh has a large group working in analysis with 11 permeant faculty members, in addition to PhD students and other postdoctoral researchers. More information can be found here. In addition, we are part of the larger Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences in collaboration with Heriot—Watt University, and hold regular joint meetings between the two departments. Edinburgh is also home to the ICMS, which continually hosts conferences and workshops in the mathematical sciences. 

Your skills and attributes for success: 

We seek candidates from diverse backgrounds that can demonstrate the potential for independent research and a future academic career.
