Postdoctoral Research Associate

Full time – 35 hours per week

Fixed term for 2 years, extension for a 3^rd year is possible upon availability of funding. The position can be filled immediately.

The opportunity:

We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) to conduct research in finite element exterior calculus, under the mentorship of Dr Kaibo Hu.

This 2-year postdoc position is funded by Dr Hu’s Royal Society University Research Fellowship, which aims to develop finite element methods for discretising geometric structures. The start date is expected to be soon after the date of the advertisement.

Your skills and attributes for success: 

• PhD in mathematics or physics to be awarded before taking up the position
• An interest in developing finite element exterior calculus for discretising geometric structures, with applications to modelling and computation for continuum mechanics or numerical relativity.
• Background in areas including some of the following: finite element theory and computation, continuum mechanics, numerical relativity, discrete differential geometry, discrete topology.
• Desire and/or experience in engaging with the research community.
