About this position
Postdoctoral research in mathematical relativity at Radboud University
This postdoc project sits in the Department of Mathematics at Radboud University and focuses on the mathematical aspects of gravity, with particular attention to the large-scale geometry and dynamics of spacetimes. The researcher will work on problems in mathematical relativity broadly understood, including Lorentzian geometry, geometric analysis, and partial differential equations arising in general relativity.
The project specifically addresses non-smooth spacetime geometries and spacetimes with singular boundaries. It is embedded in the Mathematical Relativity group within the Mathematical Physics section, alongside related expertise in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and gravity research in the wider institute. The group includes Dr Annegret Burtscher, Dr Sharmila Gunasekaran, and temporary staff, and is connected to seminars, colloquia, and broader national activities in mathematical relativity.
The successful candidate will join an international team at the interface of mathematics and physics, with a research environment that encourages participation in conferences, workshops, and seminars, and dissemination of results through peer-reviewed publications. The position offers no teaching obligations, although a light teaching load or supervision tasks can be arranged if desired.
