Address
Form of workThis position arises in association with the appointment of Professor Malwina Luczak to a Leverhulme International Professorship in the Department of Mathematics. The successful candidate will work with Professor Luczak on projects in the field of Applied Probability.
Overall Purpose of the Job
Professor Luczak’s current research interests are largely in Markov chains, with an emphasis on rigorous analysis of their long-term behaviour. She has developed tools for proving results of this type, and the successful candidate will assist her in adapting these techniques to treat specific classes of Markov chains arising in application areas such as mathematical biology and computer science. For instance, there are a number of stochastic models of epidemics where the course of the epidemic is known to follow the solution of a differential equation over short time-intervals, but where little or nothing has been proved about the long-term behaviour of the stochastic process. There will also be opportunities for the post-holder to develop their own research agenda, and to work with others in the Probability and Statistics group in Manchester.
As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.
