ERC Post Doc Position at Warwick with A. Mondino

created by mondino on 30 Oct 2018

Deadline: 16 dec 2018

Fixed term position for 2 years

Dr. Andrea Mondino invites interested researchers to apply for a postdoctoral position to work under his supervision on a topic related to his ERC Starting Grant "Optimal transport techniques in the geometric analysis of spaces with curvature bounds". This project focuses on optimal transportation, geometric analysis, geometric and functional inequalities, metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature lower bounds (in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani), Lorentzian geometry and general relativity. The members of the team master methods coming from Riemannian geometry, optimal transport, functional analysis, metric geometry and metric analysis.

The starting date is flexible and can be any date between 01. February 2019 and 01. October 2019. The post is initially for 24 months with the possibility of an extension by another 12 months.

The application should include the following documents: CV, list of publications, research statement and between 1 to 3 letters of recommendation. All applicants should ensure that their 3 referees send their references by email to Alison Glendinning (Departmental Secretary, Department of Mathematics, University of Warwick) by email to MathematicsPA@warwick.ac.uk Deadline for application: 16 December 2018

This is a fixed term post for 2 years (with possible extension to a third year). Start date is by arrangement, following interview.

Informal enquiries can be sent to A.Mondino@warwick.ac.uk
