Job description

Postdoctoral Position on Ergodicity and Lyapunov Exponents

A Post Doctoral Research Associate position is available to work in the research group of Dr. Helen Christodoulidi as part of the EPSRC-funded New Investigator Award Project: Ergodicity And Lyapunov Exponents In Many-Body Hamiltonian Systems.

This project aims to approach statistical mechanics using elements from integrable systems theory. This mathematical and computational approach intends to show that integrable systems theory is invaluable even beyond its applicability boundaries within a traditional perturbation theory framework.

The position requires the ability to carry out both analytical and numerical tasks, and strong skills in programming are essential.

Applicants should have (or be close to completing) a PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field, with a proven track record in research and publication. Relevant expertise should lie in dynamical systems, Lyapunov exponents, ergodicity, or perturbation theory. Excellent communication and presentation skills are essential.

Please indicate the contact details of two academic referees on the online application form and upload a full curriculum vitae and a description of your research statement (not to exceed two pages).

Please quote the reference number on your application and in any correspondence about this vacancy.
