Role
The aim of the project is to work towards developing a novel and comprehensive framework for higher-dimensional integrable models using techniques from higher gauge theory to explore higher dimensional and higher gauge-theoretic versions of the recent framework of 4-dimensional Chern-Simons theory.
This is a fixed-term contract for up to 24 months.
Skills, Experience & Qualification needed
1. Candidates will have completed, or be close to completing, a PhD in a relevant area of Mathematics or Mathematical Physics or equivalent experience
2. An ideal candidate will have a strong mathematical background and experience in working with gauge theoretic approaches to integrability based on Chern-Simons theories and/or general higher algebraic structures.
3. The applicant should also show great potential at mastering new areas and techniques.
