Hours
Full Time
Salary
(inclusive of London allowance)
£35,965 – £37,952 per annum
Duties and Responsibilities
The department has internationally recognised research groups in pure and applied analysis; fluid mechanics; mathematical physics; geometry and topology; algebra, number theory and combinatorics; mathematical modelling in biology, finance, industry and society. Applications are invited for a full-time Research Fellow position to work in the area of nonlinear partial differential equations, with emphasis on the Euler equations, problems with moving boundaries, and nonlinear wave equations. This position is part of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Fellowship entitled Singularities and Mixing in Euler flows, held by Dr Mahir Hadzic.

The responsibilities of the post will include: carrying out vigorous, high-level research in the area of partial differential equations with particular emphasis on questions of rigorous analysis of solutions to free boundary problems arising in fluid dynamics and nonlinear wave equations, submitting publications regularly in refereed journals; participating in local seminars and in national and international conferences.

This post is available from 13 January 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.

This post is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for 3 years in the first instance.
Key Requirements
Candidates should either have a PhD or equivalent qualification in mathematics or applied mathematics, or should be finalising their PhD or waiting for their viva date. Please note: Appointment at Grade 7 is dependent on award and confirmation of a PhD (or equivalent). If this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6B, point 26 (salary £33,194 per annum inclusive of London allowance) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.

The successful candidate is expected to have some expertise and research experience in at least one of the following topics: equations of fluid dynamics (the key example are the compressible or incompressible Euler equations), PDEs with free boundaries, nonlinear wave equations, general relativity or nonlinear stability/instability analysis of solutions to PDEs coming from mathematical physics.
