Are you passionate about mathematics and eager to contribute to groundbreaking research in stochastic analysis, geometry, and computational methods? Join our team at the Department of Mathematical Sciences in a two-year postdoctoral position focused on time-evolving stochastic manifolds, funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant and the Swedish Research Council.

Project description
You will join a research project on time-evolving stochastic manifolds, led by Annika Lang, and supported by ERC and VR funding. This interdisciplinary project integrates elements of:

• Stochastic analysis
• Geometry
• Partial differential equations
• Computational mathematics

For further details about the project, visit Annika Lang’s webpage.

Information about the division and the department
The Department of Mathematical Sciences, jointly operated by Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, is Sweden’s largest mathematics department, with about 200 employees. We are organized into three divisions: Algebra and Geometry, Analysis and Probability Theory, Applied Mathematics and Statistics.

Our department is renowned for its vibrant international environment, active research collaborations, and diverse academic programs, including two Master’s programs in mathematics. Faculty and researchers are committed to excellence in both teaching and research, supported by frequent interactions with global academic institutions.

The Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics specializes in areas such as biomathematics, mathematical modeling, computational mathematics, mathematical statistics, and expanding fields like data science and machine learning.

We strive to be a parent-friendly, equality-driven organization that fosters diversity and inclusivity. For more details, visit our website: math.chalmers.se

Major responsibilities

• Conduct independent research on topics related to the project.
• Communicate scientific results through presentations and publications.
• Collaborate with researchers in the department and external partners.
• Contribute to the supervision of Master’s and PhD students.
• Optional teaching duties (up to 20%) may be included by agreement.

Qualifications

• Required:
  • A PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service. 
  • Current PhD students are welcome to apply for the position if the PhD studies are supposed to be completed by September 1, 2025. 
  • Strong background in mathematics.
  • Proficiency in English, both oral and written.
• Meritorious:
  • Expertise in stochastic analysis, numerical analysis, differential geometry, or computational methods for stochastic PDEs.
  • Experience with random fields, programming, or mathematical statistics.
