under supervision of Prof. Oleg Pikhurko on the project "Measurable
Combinatorics" funded by the Leverhulme Trust. This broad project
focuses on the interplay between combinatorics and other areas of pure
mathematics (descriptive set theory, group actions, measure theory,
etc), with applications going both ways.
The main directions are descriptive combinatorics (in particular,
combinatorial-type invariants of Borel graphs and graphings, and
measurable equidecompositions) and the limit theory of discrete
structure (in particular, with view of applying it to various problems
of extremal and probabilistic combinatorics). While a previous
experience in these areas is not required, an ideal candidate will
have a strong analytic background and a great interest in
combinatorics. We will also be looking for the depth of applicant's
research and her/his potential in applying algebraic, analytic, or
probabilistic methods to discrete problems.
The starting date is 1 October 2019. This is a fixed term post for 4
years. Informal enquiries can be sent to: o.pikhurko@warwick.ac.uk
The application should include the following documents: CV, a research
statement, up to three of applicant's selected papers or pre-prints,
and between 2 to 4 letters of recommendation. All applicants should
ensure that all referees send their references by email to
MathematicsPA@warwick.ac.uk before the deadline.
The deadline for application is 19 February 2019. Applications can be
made online via this link:

The online system allows uploading only one file in addition to CV, so
you can just give references (arxiv or journal info) to up to 3 of
your best papers in your research statement or merge all supporting
documents into one pdf file (eg by scanning). If this does not work,
then you can email the extra documents to MathematicsPA@warwick.ac.uk
(quoting the reference no).
