Applications are invited from individuals who have a strong background in mathematics with emphasis in at least one of the areas mentioned. Willingness to combine techniques from all of these areas is essential.
Funds for attending conferences and travel are available.
Candidates should hold a PhD in Mathematics (or have submitted their PhD Thesis before the starting date of the position).
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed during the week commencing 9th November 2015. A Skype interview on an earlier or (slightly) later date may be possible if candidates are not available during the interview week.
