About the role
Applications are invited for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow position to work with Dr Shane Cooper on the project “Controllably accurate models for metamaterials via a novel mathematical
Analysis”. The project focuses on the quantitative homogenisation theory of linear partial differential equations with rapidly oscillating and degenerating coefficients. The main focus will be on spectral and time-dependent problems in the whole space or thin domains.
The responsibilities of the post will include carrying out vigorous, high-level research in the area of mathematical analysis, submitting publications regularly in refereed journals; participating in local seminars and in national and international conferences.
This post is available from 1st July 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
