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

Project/work description

The research group in differential geometry and general relativity within the department of mathematics is offering two two-year postdoc positions. These postdoc positions are intended for work on projects in geometric PDEs, classical mathematical relativity, or a combination of these subjects. By geometric PDEs we here mean any geometrically motivated partial differential equations, such as geometric flows (Ricci flow, mean curvature flow), Einstein manifolds, Schrödinger operators and their heat semigroups, minimal surfaces, wave maps, etc. 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.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Works in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
