Research Associate

Description

Seeking an expert on both the theory and applications of differential equations to work a class of hybrid probabilistic differential equation based models. During the course of this position, we hope to develop both theoretical results (e.g. existence and uniqueness of solutions) as well as practical results (development of plausible mathematical models in the study of supply chains, self-driving cars, and power grids). This position is funded by Advanced Research and Invention Agency and may have opportunities for future employment in industry. Glaive is a small research institute with a flat corporate structure and an open company culture.

Job Details

• Duration: One year fixed term contract
• Pay: 70k before tax

• Application deadline: Applications reviewed on a rolling basis until 15 Aug 2025.
• Decision notification: 15 Sept 2025
• Location: on-site or remote with regular visits

Job Duties

• Develop plausible proof-of-concept mathematical models for supply chains, self-driving cars, and power grids. May include programming.
• Development of existence and uniqueness results for the class of hybrid models we are studying. May include contributing to an academic paper.
• Participate in ARIA workshops in the UK (occur about quarterly).
• Contribute to quarterly research status reports.
• Attend company meetings and contribute to shared responsibilities.

Desired Qualifications

• Ph.D or higher degree in mathematics or related field; or equivalent experience.
• Expertise in Differential equations, mathematical modeling, real analysis, partial differential equations, and/or control theory.
• Experience working as a researcher in either an academic or industry context.
• Ability to work in an interdisciplinary context, learning and teaching as needed.

If you are missing some of these qualifications but are still interested in the position then we encourage you to apply regardless.
