Two-Year Fixed Term Contract starting September 2026 or by negotiation.
Applications are invited to with Professor Nikolaos Zygouras on the EPSRC funded project: “The Critical 2d Stochastic Heat Flow and its universality”
The project aims to develop the properties of the Critical 2d Stochastic Heat Flow and link to other universality theories, such Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos, Liouville Quantum Gravity, log-correlated fields as well as theories revolving around renormalisation, regularity structures, paracontrolled distributions and quantum field theory.
Very strong candidates on any area of probability, statistical mechanics and stochastic analysis are invited to apply.
Candidates should be able to work effectively in a larger research group and have the ability to communicate its results to the wider research community.
Candidates should have a PhD or be due to complete a PhD soon. They will have a record of research papers published in journals (or accepted to be published) and a high capacity for original research and creative thought.
The successful candidate will be working as part of an inclusive and flexible team, based in the Warwick Maths Institute, a world-leading mathematics department.
They will have, if desired, opportunities to travel in the UK and abroad, on research visits to collaborating groups and to conferences and will be given both time and mentoring support to develop their own research profile and broader skills.
For details on the experience and skills required, please refer to the job description attached as a PDF below.
PhD Status
If you are near submission of your PhD, or have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made at Research Assistant level, at the highest spinal point of pay grade 5 (£34,610 per annum).
