Calculus of Variations and Geometric Measure Theory

Research Fellowship unde the ERC Project “GENREG – Generic regularity of area minimising hypersurfaces and mean curvature flows”

created by malchiodi on 22 Oct 2025

Deadline: 30 nov 2025

For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Felix Schulze at felix.schulze@warwick.ac.uk.

Applications are invited to work with Prof. Felix Schulze and collaborators on the ERC Project “GENREG – Generic regularity of area minimising hypersurfaces and mean curvature flows” at the University of Warwick.

The work is situated in Geometric Analysis, drawing on the interplay between PDE Theory, Geometric Flows, Riemannian Geometry and Geometric Measure Theory. The questions to be addressed revolve around the idea of generic regularity for either minimal surfaces or geometric flows. While it is not necessary that you have expertise in all these areas, it is expected that you are interested and willing to learn the background of the other areas necessary for project.

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.

This is a two-year fixed-term contract, starting October 2026 or earlier.
