About this position

This is a postdoctoral research associate position in number theory and arithmetic statistics at the University of Bath, working with Prof. Daniel Loughran as part of the EPSRC-funded programme grant Unifying Arithmetic Statistics.

The project sits within the Department of Mathematical Sciences and focuses on several interconnected themes in arithmetic statistics. The successful candidate will contribute to the programme according to their background and interests, with particular relevance to topics such as the arithmetic of algebraic stacks, rational points on higher-dimensional varieties, local-global principles, and the distribution of number fields, class groups, and rational points.

The post is embedded in a wider collaborative team led by Daniel Loughran together with Alex Bartel, Rachel Newton, and Adam Morgan across Bath, Glasgow, King’s College London, and Cambridge. The appointee will work closely with programme grant members, take part in study groups, conferences, team retreats, and visits from researchers, and play an active role in the Bath research group. The role also includes mentoring PhD students and helping organise study groups and seminars.

The position is research-focused and includes travel support, with no teaching responsibilities. It offers the opportunity to join an active international environment in mathematical research at Bath and contribute to a multi-institution programme in arithmetic statistics.

Funding details

EPSRC-funded postdoctoral research associate position with salary starting from £39,560 rising to £46,970; associated travel funds are included.

What's required

Applicants should have a PhD, or be close to finishing within six months of the course completion date, and will be promoted to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded. A track record of excellent research in the relevant subject area is expected, along with good organisational and team working skills and leadership and independence qualities. Expertise is sought in one of the following areas: the arithmetic of algebraic stacks; rational points on higher-dimensional varieties and local-global principles; or arithmetic statistics, including the distribution of number fields, class groups, and rational points.
