Postdoc/researcher position in geometric PDEs and mathematical relativity - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The research group in differential geometry and general relativity within the department of mathematics is offering a two-year postdoctoral/researcher position. This position is intended for work on projects in geometric PDE’s, classical mathematical relativity, or a combination of these subjects. By geometric PDE’s we here mean any geometrically motivated partial differential equations, which could be either elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic. By mathematical relativity we mean Lorentzian geometry, the study of initial data sets, problems related to evolution (stability, asymptotics, cosmic censorship), the study of horizons and trapped surfaces, static solutions, etc.

Qualifications

A PhD degree, awarded (or planned to be awarded before the commencement of the project) in mathematics is a requirement. We seek a candidate with a strong background in some of the areas described above.

The successful applicant should be strongly motivated, have the capability to work independently as well as in collaboration with members of the research group, and have good communication skills.
