The School of Mathematics & Statistics is looking for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to the EPSRC funded project Diophantine geometry in nonnegative Kodaira dimension: Obstructions and Abundance working with its principal investigator Dr. Damián Gvirtz-Chen.

This 2 year position within the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Glasgow is part of a collaborative project between the PI and his international network of collaborators.

The post comes with secured funding for travel (to national and international workshops/conferences and to overseas collaborators) as well as computer equipment (laptop). A strong background in algebraic geometry and number theory is essential, in particular expertise in one or more of the areas of Brauer groups, K3 surfaces, rational points, Shimura varieties and arithmetic dynamics is highly desirable.
