The School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Sydney advertises a two-year postdoctoral position.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research within a 3+ year Australian Research Council Discovery Project at UNSW Sydney. The project seeks to advance the field of extreme value theory for random dynamical systems through the development of novel techniques in functional analysis, operator theory, and ergodic theory. Applications of the new theory will include the analysis of nonstationary spatiotemporal data arising from weather and climate observations/models.

In collaboration with the Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of Geneva and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, the Group of Applied Physics at the University of Geneva invites applications for a PhD studentship as part of an exciting new research project entitled:

NET4TIP: Network Approaches to Climate Tipping Mechanisms

Deadline for application: January 4th, 2026

Duration: 4 years

Location: Geneva, Switzerland

To submit an application, please see the announcement at the following link: https://www.unige.ch/gap/nonlinear/news/new-phd-position

The Mathematics Department at Oregon State University invites applications for one full-time 12-month Postdoctoral Scholar position in Dynamical Systems beginning September 16, 2026 and ending September 15, 2027. Renewal for up to two additional years is available pending satisfactory completion of assigned duties. Renewals are also subject to the budgetary and/or operational conditions of the Department and University. The position carries a teaching load of four to five (4-5) quarter courses per year and is supported by a formal faculty mentoring program. Applicants should have a PhD in Mathematics or a related field by the anticipated starting date and received no earlier than September 15, 2021.

This is to advertise a PhD position at University of Exeter under the supervision of Tanja Schindler and Mark Holland with a start in September 2026.

Details of the project “Properties of dynamical systems with an infinite invariant measure and an unbounded observable” can be found here: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/v8media/recruitmentsites/documents/studentshipprojects/Properties_of_dynamical_systems_with_an_infinite_invariant_measure_and_an_unbounded_observable_-_Schindler_-_Mathematics_and_Statistics-1.pdf

and here are details of the application process : https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/award/?id=5741

Deadline for the application: 12 January 2026, midday, UK time

Please note that while UK students are given priority for the advertised studentships, they are open to any student meeting the academic criteria. It is recommended (but not a requirement) that prospective applicants get in contact with Tanja Schindler before applying.

This is to advertise a postdoc (initially 2 years, extendable to 3+ years) in dynamical systems as part of a small centre.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research within a five-year Laureate Fellow project funded by the Australian Research Council and UNSW Sydney. The project seeks to advance the analysis of dynamical systems through the development of novel techniques in functional analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, differential geometry, and/or data science. Specific topics of focus include, but are not limited to, linear response, random and nonautonomous dynamical systems, spectral analysis, machine learning, data-driven dynamics, stability/perturbation theory/rigorous numerics. Possible applications of the new theory include the analysis of spatiotemporal data arising from weather and climate observations/models and from models of social dynamics. Motivating aims include the discovery and analysis of hidden large-scale patterns in data/models, elucidating mechanisms underlying the emergence of these large-scale phenomena and their response to perturbations, and devising reliable automatic schemes for predicting this emergence and quantifying their response.

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata invites applications for a tenure-track position in Mathematical Analysis and/or Probability at the level of assistant professor (“Ricercatore tenure track”).

This tenure-track position offers a unique opportunity to join one of Italy’s leading Mathematics Departments, with a globally recognized reputation for research. The Department is consistently ranked among the top in Italy (ANVUR report) and is within the top 150 Departments of Mathematics worldwide in the ARWU ranking.

The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor in Mathematics with specialization in Mathematical Analysis, meant in a broad sense, including not only central areas of analysis, but also areas of mathematics where analysis is a dominating characteristic. Examples of the latter include subareas of dynamical systems, geometry, mathematical physics, partial differential equations, probability theory and number theory.

As for the duties of the position, the majority of time will be spent on research, with the goal that the assistant professor become established as an independent researcher within the international research community. Teaching at the basic, advanced and doctoral level includes courses in mathematics as well as supervision of degree projects and doctoral students. Some administrative duties may also be included. The assistant professor is expected to be able to teach in Swedish within four years. If needed, a language support plan will be devised at the time of employment.

The Mathematics Department at King’s College London is currently recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work with Dr. Matteo Tanzi on the EPSRC-funded project: “Strongly Coupled Maps: Thermodynamic Limits and Rates of Convergence.”

This position presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of dynamical and complex systems, particularly focusing on the dynamics of strongly interacting systems. The role is ideally suited for candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas: dynamical systems, ergodic theory, or the theory of networks.
