Sir John Ball FRS.  The successful applicant will take up the post by 1st
April 2014 but no later than 1 October 2014 and will be based in the Oxford
Centre for Nonlinear PDE (OxPDE) to perform mathematical research on
projects outlined in the job description regarding solid phase
transformations and the Landau–de Gennes theory of liquid crystals or
related topics under the leadership of the investigator and to write this up
for publication and to fully participate in the activities of the research
group.  They may also be required to teach up to four sets of undergraduate

three postdoctoral research associates and five PhD students.

The successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD awarded or
submitted, in mathematics or a related discipline, a good publication record
judged by the stage of his/her career, expertise in analysis and other
subject areas relevant for the projects listed above together with a
research record in some aspect of nonlinear analysis applied to problems in
mechanics.

Please direct informal enquiries to the Administrative Assistant and arrange
