Mason Porter

Mason Porter, Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles, shares a career update about moving to Europe and taking up a new faculty position created by Nordita (the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics) in concert with the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University. The post does not announce an immediate open PhD, postdoc, or master’s application. Instead, it says that in the coming years there will be advertisements for postdocs and PhD studentships in complex systems . The research environment connects mathematics and physics , with Nordita’s broader theoretical physics setting and Stockholm University as the academic home. Nordita is an international institute for theoretical physics, jointly hosted with Stockholm University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Uppsala University. The post mentions that the new faculty role is supported by funding from Wallenberg and will be a 90% research position for 10 years before potentially becoming a standard research/teaching position in mathematics at Stockholm University. No application deadline, eligibility criteria, funding package, or application portal for students is provided in this post. Interested candidates should watch for future official advertisements from Nordita and Stockholm University for complex systems-related postdoctoral and PhD opportunities.
