The position is funded by Dr Alpers' EPSRC New Investigator Award project "Optimal Grain Diagrams: Mathematical Analysis and Algorithms". The Postdoctoral Research Associate will contribute to a programme of work that aims at enabling new materials discovery by advancing the theory and computation of geometric diagram structures describing polycrystals by exploiting a recently established link to constrained clustering.
The applicant should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in Mathematics, Mathematical Optimisation, Operations Research, Machine Learning, Computer Science, or any related area, the ability to pursue research independently and as part of a team, and a track record of high-quality original research. Computational skills and expertise in clustering and/or optimisation as well as interest in materials science applications would be advantageous.
