Postdoctoral Research Associate in Twisted and Celestial Holography, Twistor Theory and Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theory.
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Professors Christopher Beem and Lionel Mason at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a three-year, fixed-term position, funded by research grants from the Simons Foundation and the European Research Council. We anticipate the start-date for this position to be at the beginning of the 2024-25 academic year, with the earliest start-date being 01 September 2024.
The successful candidate will be part of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research both in twisted and celestial holography, together with their relations to twistor theory, and related to algebraic aspects of supersymmetric quantum field theories, especially in the formalism of topological and holomorphic twists. They will be expected to conduct research in these areas and related fields which falls within the remit of these large-scale projects and will have the opportunity to do so independently and/or collaboratively with other members of the groups at Oxford and/or other mathematicians internationally. They will have the opportunity to provide informal mentorship of D.Phil students in the groups. The Simons collaboration provides opportunities for participation at its meetings and for wider international collaboration.
