Research Fellow (Mathematics)

The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore is a school dedicated to advancing research and education across the mathematical and physical sciences. It hosts activities in two divisions: the Division of Mathematical Sciences (MAS) and the Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP). MAS spans a broad spectrum of topics, from pure mathematics to its applications in cryptography, computing, business, and finance. PAP encompasses numerous areas of fundamental and applied physics, such as quantum information, condensed matter physics, biophysics, and photonics. The key objective is to support efforts to advance scientific knowledge and nurture talented individuals from Singapore and around the world into scientific leaders and researchers. For more details, please view https://www.ntu.edu.sg/spms We are looking for a Research Fellow to join Dr. Kay Jin Lim's research group and contribute to advancing the study of representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras. The role will focus on conducting original research in this area, exploring connections to related fields such as homological algebra, algebraic geometry, or algebraic combinatorics, and disseminating findings through publications and conference presentations. The successful candidate will work closely with Dr. Lim and collaborate with an active research community, with opportunities to co-supervise graduate students and contribute to the intellectual life of the department. Key Responsibilities: Contribute to the development and advancement of research in the representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras, exploring connections to related areas such as homological algebra, algebraic geometry, or algebraic combinatorics. Conduct original research, including problem formulation, theoretical development, and rigorous proof-writing. Preparation of research papers, reports, and presentations to disseminate findings. Participate in regular team meetings and contribute to the overall progress of the project. Job Requirements: A PhD degree in mathematics or a related area, with a strong background in representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras or related fields such as homological algebra, algebraic geometry, or algebraic combinatorics. Solid theoretical and analytical skills, with the ability to develop rigorous mathematical proofs. Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team. Previous research experience and publication record in a related field preferred. Proficiency in mathematical programming languages such as Magma, GAP, SageMath, or similar. We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
