Postdoctoral opportunities

I was recently awarded a 5-year grant from the ERC. The grant is called Approximate Algebraic Structure and Applications (AAS), and the aim is to study various parts of additive combinatorics, but particularly (i) Approximate groups and their applications and (ii) Gowers norms and their applications.

I am interested in attracting postdocs and, exceptionally, PhD students to Cambridge to work on this project. The postdoctoral positions could be suitable for PhD students with a background in any of combinatorics, harmonic analysis, analytic or additive number theory or some parts of ergodic theory or group theory.

For a brief introduction to the project, here are the slides from a 15-minute presentation I gave in Brussels.

For a somewhat more comprehensive overview, here is a lightly edited version of the whole project proposal. (NB: as regards attribution to other people's work, etc, neither of these documents should be held to the same standards as a published paper. Also, the second is already slightly out of date.)

Additive Combinatorics is an active area of study in Cambridge. For more information on pure mathematics here in general, see here.

Please get in touch with me by email if you are interested in any of these opportunities.
