Appointment and supervision

The Postdoctoral Associates will be appointed for a duration of two years and will work under the supervision of Associate Professor Diogo Arsénio on subjects including:

• Magnetohydrodynamics and the mathematical theory of plasmas.
• Collisional kinetic models and their hydrodynamic limits.
• Dispersive phenomena in kinetic theory.
• Quantum gases.

Qualifications

Applicants must hold a PhD degree in mathematics, physics or a related field. We seek candidates with an outstanding academic record.

Terms and benefits

The terms of employment are internationally competitive, and they include housing subsidies, as well as educational support for families.

Application materials

• cover letter
• curriculum vitae including a list of publications
• transcript of PhD degree or, in case the degree has not yet been formally awarded, evidence of completion of the degree requirements and expected conferral date
• a brief research statement detailing the applicant’s scientific interests, accomplishments and future research strategies
• at least two letters of recommendation to be sent confidentially (applicants will be prompted to enter the referee’s e-mails)

Application timeline

The screening and assessment of applications will begin immediately and will continue until positions are successfully filled.
