We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Professor Jose A. Carrillo on an exciting new project in Nonlinear Aggregation-Diffusion PDE. The position is fixed-term for 2 years, and the post-holder will be based here at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford.

The successful candidate will conduct research pertaining to one of the main strands of the proposal concerning the Analysis of Nonlinear Aggregation/Diffusions. This includes gradient flows, blow-up profiles, phase transitions and functional inequalities. They will write up their results for publication, present papers at conferences and contribute ideas for new research projects, whilst also managing their own academic research and administrative activities.

You will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or a related discipline, and possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the analysis of PDEs to be able to work within the subtopic of aggregation/diffusion problems. Preference will be given to applicants with prior experience in at least three of the following areas: mean-field limits for many particle systems, kinetic equations, nonlinear parabolic/hyperbolic/hydrodynamic problems with nonlocal terms, interacting particle systems, modulated free energy techniques and optimal transportation tools. Experience with at least one application of aggregation-diffusion equations is also desirable.
