[DMANET] Postdoc in algebraic/geometric complexity theory, Warwick, UK

Dear colleagues,

The University of Warwick is inviting applications for a postdoc position (Research Fellow) in algebraic/geometric complexity theory. The area is interpreted broadly, and candidates from various backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

You find the official job advert for the position "Research Fellow (107507-0523)" here:
https://atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/jobs.cgi?SID=amNvZGU9MTg5MTIyMCZ2dF90ZW1wbGF0ZT0xNDU3Jm93bmVyPTUwNjI0NTImb3duZXJ0eXBlPWZhaXImYnJhbmRfaWQ9MCZ2YWNfeHRyYTUwNjI0NTIuNTJfNTA2MjQ1Mj0yMzk5MjEmcG9zdGluZ19jb2RlPTYzNQ==

Full-time, up to two years.

Closing Date: 25 Jun 2023

Best regards,
Christian Ikenmeyer


-----------------------------

Full-time, fixed-term contract. For a period of up to two years. The start date can be negotiated for the successful candidate.

The position is available in connection with a research grant of Professor Christian Ikenmeyer (https://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~u2270030/) and the main objective is to pursue cutting edge research at the intersection of algebraic complexity theory, geometric complexity theory, algebraic geometry, representation theory, and algebraic combinatorics, focusing on fundamental research, with the aim to publish papers in leading theoretical computer science conferences and mathematics journals.

You will have a strong background in mathematics and theoretical computer science with a specialization either in algebraic complexity theory, geometric complexity theory, algebraic geometry, representation theory, or algebraic combinatorics, or a closely related area, for example computer algebra. You will have (or expect to obtain shortly) a PhD in the relevant area.

You should provide with your application form, as a single PDF document, a CV including a list of publications, names and contact details of three references, and a research statement.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure (£32,411). Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£33,348).

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.

For further information, please contact Professor Ikenmeyer (Christian.Ikenmeyer@warwick.ac.uk).

We are supportive of staff with caring responsibilities including a generous maternity/paternity/adoption/parental leave policy, onsite childcare facilities and a childcare vouchers scheme.
