About this position

King’s College London invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate in number theory to work with Rachel Newton on the EPSRC-funded project “Unifying Arithmetic Statistics.”

The project brings together several areas of modern arithmetic research, including arithmetic statistics, rational points on varieties and stacks, local-global principles, and the arithmetic of global fields. The successful researcher will contribute to appropriate strands of the project according to their background and interests.

The postdoctoral researcher will join a wider collaborative team led by Daniel Loughran at the University of Bath, Alex Bartel at the University of Glasgow, Rachel Newton at King’s College London, and Adam Morgan at the University of Cambridge. The role includes participation in team activities such as study groups, conferences, retreats, and the hosting of visiting researchers, as well as contributions to organising these activities.

The researcher will become part of the number theory group at King’s, which includes faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students. The group benefits from the wider London number theory community, including the London Number Theory Seminar and associated study groups involving King’s, Imperial College London, and University College London, along with participation in the London–Paris Number Theory Seminar.

The planned start date is 1 October 2027, with some flexibility possible. The position offers an opportunity to develop research across arithmetic statistics, number theory, arithmetic geometry, and related areas within an active collaborative environment.

Funding details

The post is a full-time, fixed-term paid research associate position for 36 months, with 35 hours per week. Salary and other financial details are not stated in the provided text.

What's required
