Research Associate in Mathematical Physics Lagrangian Multiforms

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the area of mathematical physics to join the Geometry and Mathematical Physics group of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. You will work under the direction of Dr Mats Vermeeren on an EPSRC-funded project “Lagrangian Multiforms for Symmetries and Integrability: Classification, Geometry, and Applications”.

Lagrangian multiform theory is a new type of variational principle that originated in the study of classical integrable systems. You will work on parts of the EPSRC-funded project that aim to extend the ideas of Lagrangian multiform theory beyond the scope of integrable systems and to make connections with other areas of modern mathematical physics.

Key requirements
You should have

• A PhD in mathematics or physics.
• A track record of research in mathematical physics.
• Expertise in one or more of the following areas: classical and quantum integrable systems, gauge theories, path integrals, Chern-Simons theories, nonlinear sigma models.

No prior experience with Lagrangian multiform theory is required.
