Summary
A three year fixed term postdoctoral position starting in October 2026 or a date to be fixed with the applicant.
Applications are invited to work with Dr Josephine Evans on the Royal Society University Research Fellowship “Asymptotic Behaviour of Kinetic Equations”.
The work relates to the study of long time behaviour and scaling limits of PDEs coming from kinetic theory. The role would be ideal for someone with a background in kinetic theory and might also suit interested candidates with knowledge of the analysis of PDEs for mathematical physics or life sciences, Markov process theory or similar fields.
You will be working as part of an inclusive and flexible team, based in the Warwick Maths Institute, a world-leading mathematics department. You will have, if desired, opportunities to travel in the UK and abroad, on research visits to collaborating groups and to conferences. You will be given both time and mentoring support to develop your own research profile and broader skills.
You should have (or be due to submit soon) a PhD, or have equivalent experience, in analysis of PDEs, probability or a related field.
You can work effectively in a larger research group and have the ability to communicate its results to the wider research community.
You will have excellent communication and presentation skills, and be comfortable talking about your work with academics from other disciplines and non-specialists. You will have a record of research papers published in journals (or accepted to be published). You will have a high capacity for original research and creative thought, as well as the ability to manage your time effectively across multiple strands of research.
