Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Mathematical Framework for MULTIPLEX networks
The University of Oxford
Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
Closing date: 26th October 2012We invite applications for an EPSRC funded postdoctoral research position to work on the multi-national project PLEXMATH (http://www.plexmath.eu/) to study multiplex networks with Dr Mason Porter in the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. This is a 34-month, fixed-term position to be started as soon as possible (and preferably before 1 December 2012).
This position is funded to carry out research on multiplex networks, which are networks with multiple types of connections. The research will be both computational and analytical and will focus on theoretical development for clustering in multiplex networks and dynamics on multiplex networks.
The successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD, or a Masters degree and PhD submitted, at the time of taking up the post, in mathematics, applied mathematics, physics, computer science, statistics, or a closely related discipline. The successful candidate will also have expertise in network science or a related subject and expertise in one or more of scientific computing, nonlinear dynamics, and statistical mechanics.
Applicants should read the job description document before writing their application. You will be required to upload a supporting statement setting out how you meet the selection criteria, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of research interests, and the names and contact details of two referees as part of your online application. In addition candidates should arrange for the two letters of reference to be sent directly to the Administrative Assistant, Mathematical Institute, 24-29 St Giles’, Oxford OX1 3LB, email: vacancies@maths.ox.ac.uk, by the closing date (a letter by email is sufficient).
