We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position, funded by the European Research Council, to work with Professor Andras Juhasz, at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a 36 month fixed-term position and is available from 1 September 2016 (or as soon as possible thereafter).

The successful candidate will work on research projects related to the grant “Low-dimensional topology in Oxford,” in particular, apply Heegaard Floer homology or similar invariants to smooth 4-manifold topology and knot concordance, but there is scope for carrying out an independent research agenda. There is also a requirement to teach up to four sets of undergraduate or graduate classes per year, determined by the demand for classes in specific areas.

Applicants should have a PhD awarded or submitted (at the time of taking up the position) in mathematics or a related discipline, and be able to demonstrate a strong background in gauge-theoretic techniques in low-dimensional topology, preferably Heegaard Floer homology, and a research focus on 4-dimensional applications. A good publication record judged by the stage of his/her career, and the ability to work together with others as part of a research team are also essential.

Please direct informal enquiries to the Administrative Assistant (email: vacancies@maths.ox.ac.uk), quoting vacancy reference 122188.

Applicants should read the job description before writing their application. You will be required to upload a letter setting out how you meet the selection criteria, a curriculum vitae including full list of publications, a statement of research interests and the contact details of three referees as part of your online application.  (NOTE: Applicants are responsible for contacting their referees and making sure that their letters are received by the closing date).

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online.  To apply for this post and for further details, including the job description and selection criteria, please click on the link below
