Postdoctoral Research Associate

Full-time: 35 hours per week

Fixed-term: 24 months fixed term contract

The Opportunity:

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in mathematical physics, within the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. The post is available from 1st September 2027, for 24 months on a fixed-term, full-time contract. This position is supported by the Simons Collaboration on Celestial Holography grant held by Tim Adamo.   

The Mathematical Physics group at the University of Edinburgh currently consists of: Tim Adamo, Sayantani Bhattacharyya, José Figueroa-O’Farrill, Jelle Hartong, James Lucietti, Bernd Schroers and Joan Simon, as well as six postdoctoral researchers and multiple PhD students. In addition to working in collaboration with the grant-holder (Adamo), the successful candidate will be encouraged to develop and pursue their own approaches to research. This position also comes with substantial travel and research budgets.

People have always been at the heart of our work. We are a place where everyone is welcome and offer a range of policies and benefits designed to support you in building the right meaningful flexibility that works for you. 

This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns.  We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
