PhD Candidate in Analysis and Geometry on Manifolds and Related Areas

The Department of Mathematics is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate for a research position funded by the NWO ENW-M project 'Symmetry and analytic torsion'. This project is about developing and applying a version of analytic torsion incorporating group actions. It falls in the broad area of analysis and geometry on manifolds. There are links with index theory, noncommutative geometry and group and representation theory. The PhD project will be supervised by Dr Peter Hochs .
We will support you through the PhD process to engage in excellent research, participate in international meetings and develop teaching skills that will equip you for a career in either academia or industry. You should ideally be available to start the PhD by February 2023. Other starting dates are negotiable, but the earlier the better. This position has a light teaching load, of up to 10% of your working time. Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a PhD from Radboud University.

We welcome applications from candidates with an excellent academic track record, and demonstrable experience in at least one of the areas mentioned above. Members from groups that are underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics disciplines are particularly encouraged to apply.
