Research Associate / Fellow (Fixed Term) (SCI

Are you a talented researcher with a passion for Algebraic Geometry and a desire to contribute to cutting-edge mathematical exploration? This Royal Society funded project offers a compelling opportunity to delve into the intricate world of "K-moduli of Fano Hypersurfaces" and significantly advance your career in a supportive and dynamic research environment.

About the Opportunity:

This position is centered around a Royal Society funded project, offering you the chance to work directly with Dr. Hamid Abban on a focused research endeavor. The core of the project involves studying the K-stability aspects of Fano hypersurfaces and examining their moduli properties. However, the scope is not limited to this specific area. You will have the exciting prospect of exploring related research directions, such as K-stability or K-moduli of other Fano varieties, and K-stability of polarized varieties. This breadth of inquiry ensures a rich and engaging research experience.

Key Advantages for Your Career Path:

• High-Impact Research: Engage in original research of international excellence, contributing to the forefront of Algebraic Geometry.
• Mentorship and Collaboration: Work closely with Dr. Hamid Abban, benefiting from his expertise and guidance on this significant project.
• Diverse Research Avenues: While the project has a clear focus, there is ample opportunity to explore related and emerging areas within K-stability and moduli theory, broadening your research skillset and impact.
• Publication and Dissemination: Develop your ability to prepare papers for publication in leading journals and present your findings at national and international conferences, enhancing your academic profile.
• Grant Writing Experience: Gain valuable experience in identifying funding opportunities and assisting in writing bids for research grants, a crucial skill for a successful academic career.
• Inclusive and Diverse Environment: This team actively seeks to enhance diversity and foster an environment where individuals can be their authentic selves. If you represent a group traditionally under-represented in Mathematical Sciences, this is a place where your contributions will be valued and nurtured.
• Flexible Working: The team embraces flexible working patterns, offering potential for a healthy work-life balance.

Key Considerations for Candidates:

To thrive in this role, candidates should possess a strong foundation in Algebraic Geometry and demonstrate a commitment to rigorous research.

• Academic Qualifications: A PhD in Mathematics, or equivalent, is required, or you should be very near to completion.
• Expertise: Expert knowledge of Algebraic Geometry is essential.
• Research Output: Proven ability to produce high-quality research in Algebraic Geometry or a closely related field is expected. Evidence of this through published papers or preprints in relevant academic journals will be highly beneficial.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Practical experience in applying geometric approaches and techniques to solve complex problems is a significant advantage.
• Collaborative Spirit: While independent work is valued, the ability to network, actively engage with, and value other research areas, as well as build relationships and collaborate effectively both internally and externally, is crucial.
• Communication Prowess: Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the ability to clearly articulate complex information, are vital for disseminating research and contributing to grant applications.
• Organizational Acumen: Strong organizational skills are necessary to manage research objectives, proposals, and contributions to project deliverables.

This fixed-term position offers a fantastic stepping stone for researchers looking to make a significant impact in Algebraic Geometry. If you are driven, possess a deep understanding of the field, and are eager to contribute to an intellectually stimulating and supportive research community, we encourage you to apply.
