Postdoctoral Position in Analysis, Probability Theory, and Mathematical Physics KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden

This postdoctoral position is offered within the Random Matrices and Random Geometry research group at the Department of Mathematics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Professor Fredrik Viklund and engage in research on topics such as Coulomb gases, 2D stochastic conformal geometry (including SLE theory, lattice models, Gaussian fields), conformal field theory, gauge theories, Loewner energy, and other areas aligned with the supervisor’s interests.

The group is internationally recognized for its contributions to mathematical physics, probability theory, and analysis, with a particular focus on the interplay between geometry and randomness. More information about the group can be found at their website.

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is one of Europe’s leading technical universities, known for its commitment to education, research, and innovation. The university fosters a creative and dynamic work environment, emphasizing equality, diversity, and good working conditions. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will have the opportunity to develop your academic career in a supportive setting and contribute to cutting-edge research in mathematics and mathematical physics.

The position is full-time and fixed-term for up to two years, with a monthly salary and employment benefits. The appointment is intended as a first career step after PhD graduation and is primarily research-focused. The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with group members and contribute to the scientific community at KTH.

Eligibility requirements include a completed doctoral degree (or equivalent foreign degree) in mathematics or a closely related field, to be obtained by the time of appointment.
