Postdoctoral Research Assistant - Number Theory
University of York
Department of Mathematics
Closing date: 2nd April 2013Applications are invited for an EPSRC funded postdoctoral positions to work jointly with Professors Sanju Velani and Victor Beresnevich on the programme New frameworks in metric Number Theory: foundations and applications
The research programme aims to make significant contribution to fundamental problems in the theory of Diophantine approximation; in particular, Littlewood’s conjecture on multiplicative Diophantine approximation, the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture on non-monotonic Diophantine approximation and the generalised Baker-Schmidt problem on Diophantine approximation on manifolds.
You should hold an equivalent of a PhD in Mathematics by the start date of your appointment. Applicants with a background in metric or analytic number theory, ergodic theory, dynamical systems and related areas are especially encouraged.
Informal enquiries may be made to: Sanju Velani (sanju.velani@york.ac.uk) or Victor Beresnevich (victor.beresnevich@york.ac.uk).
The post is for up to 3 years. Ideally the posts will be taken up between July 2013 and December 2013. The precise start date is subject to negotiation.
