Deadline: 8 jan 2025

The University of Pisa, supported by ERC Starting Grant "ConFine: Concentrations and Fine Properties of Measures Satisfying a PDE Constraint" under the direction of Prof. Adolfo Arroyo-Rabasa, announces the public selection for the assignment of

- two postdoctoral Research Grants "Assegno di Ricerca" in Theory of compensation for partial differential equations in geometric and variational problems at the Department of Mathematics
- the duration of each grant is 2 years, with the possibility of extension to 3 or 4 years total.

Please apply via https://bandi.unipi.it/public/Bandi/Detail/113f0533-1654-44f2-98c9-4bad6e9ae51e. (The deadline for applications is set to the Italian Time Zone.)

Position Description

The positions offer a competitive net salary of approximately €2,700 per month, along with standard Italian postdoctoral benefits. Successful candidates are expected to start between Q1 and Q3 of 2025 and will contribute to research projects focused on one or more of the following areas:

- Calculus of Variations (Young measures, PDE restrictions, rigidity estimates)
- Fourier Analysis (in relation to compensated compactness)
- Geometric Measure Theory (structure of varifolds, conjectures related to metric currents)
- Partial Differential Equations (compensated compactness, compensated regularity, Korn-type inequalities)
