Glorious Sun Postdoctoral Fellowships
Department of Mathematics
The University of Hong Kong
The Department of Mathematics at The University of Hong Kong invites applications for 3 Postdoctoral Positions (Ref. No. 530615) beginning on September 1, 2025 or earlier. The positions are awarded for 2 years, and may be considered through performance evaluation for an extension of 1 to 2 years. The postdoctoral positions are associated with the Institute of Mathematical Research (IMR, https://www.math.hku.hk/imrwww/). A successful candidate must have obtained the Ph.D. degree before taking up the post, and preference will be given to candidates who have obtained their Ph.D. degrees within the last 6 years and whose areas of expertise fall within Pure Mathematics including (but not limited to) the following areas of concentration: Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Number Theory, Lie Theory and Representation Theory, Probability Theory, Stochastic and Partial Differential Equations, Mathematical Physics, Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Foundation of Artificial Intelligence. Candidates are expected to show strong potential in mathematical research. A successful candidate is expected to be primarily engaged in mathematical research and to take an active role in the activities of the Institute of Mathematical Research, but may be assigned a certain amount of teaching duties by the Department of Mathematics.
To be assured of full consideration, candidates should send their applications to the Department of Mathematics by February 28, 2025. (Applications after this date may also be considered subject to availability.) For the application a candidate should send in a cover letter together with a Curriculum Vitae containing information on educational experience, including for the Ph.D. degree the title of the thesis and the name of the thesis supervisor, professional experience, a list of publications, a survey of past research experiences, a description of current research interests and a research plan for the next few years.
The University only accepts online application for the above post. Applicants should apply online and upload an up-to-date C.V., a research statement and three reference letters. Review of applications will start on March 1, 2025 until the posts are filled.
