Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

A postdoctoral position is available within the Soft Matter Group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), Faculty of Mathematics. This position will be supervised by Prof Mike Cates and Dr. Ronojoy Adhikari. The appointee will develop analytical and numerical tools for quantifying irreversibility in inertial stochastic thermodynamical systems using the recently developed formalism of the tubular ensemble, and will apply these to experimental data sets from ongoing theory-experiment collaborations. The post requires expertise in the mathematical tools of statistical field theory and stochastic processes. It also requires experience in relating sophisticated theoretical models to experimental data, and proficiency with the statistical analysis of such data and its use for model evaluation and comparison.
