About the Role
We invite applications for the position of Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) in the School of Mathematical Sciences. The successful applicant will work closely with Dr. Omer Bobrowski on the project “Universality in Topological Data Analysis”, funded by EPSRC. The project aims to study the probabilistic behaviour of high-dimensional structures, focusing on phase transitions related to their topology. This research extends phenomena known in random graphs and stochastic geometry, providing insights into statistical and computational challenges in topological data analysis (TDA).
The ideal candidate will have, or be about to obtain, a PhD in mathematics or equivalent qualifications. Applicants should have research experience in probability theory and/or applied topology, with a proven record of high-quality research publications. Expertise in machine learning, applied topology, or probability theory is desirable.
