Xuan Hien Nguyen

The Department of Mathematics at Iowa State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in analysis and partial differential equations (PDEs) . The appointment is aligned with the research interests of Professor Pablo Raúl Stinga and includes mentoring undergraduate students in research through the Iowa State Math Research Teams (ISMaRT) program under the supervision of Professor Xuan Hien Nguyen . The postdoctoral scholar will join a vibrant mathematics department with strengths in pure and applied mathematics, where faculty maintain active externally funded research programs across a wide range of disciplines. The role is structured as a two-year appointment with a possible third year extension depending on funding availability. The position combines research with teaching and mentorship. The successful candidate will contribute to a 2-1 teaching load while also supporting undergraduate research participation through ISMaRT. The department highlights a collaborative environment that supports innovation, interdisciplinary engagement, scholarship, and student success. The advertised research focus centers on analysis and PDEs, with particular connection to regularity estimates, fractional PDEs, free boundary problems, numerical analysis, and computational implementation of geometric PDEs. The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a department that emphasizes cutting-edge research and opportunities for student mentorship within a land-grant university setting.
