Mathematics and Statistics Postdoctoral Fellow Pool

Overview

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Auburn University invites applications for several one- or two-year postdoctoral positions. Each year is considered a 12-month appointment. The two-year appointments are non-renewable, while the one-year appointments are renewable once pending need, satisfactory performance, and availability of funding. Each postdoctoral scholar is responsible for teaching three courses per year. The desired start date is August 16, 2026.

We seek applicants whose research interests align with faculty research in the department. In particular, the Department is looking for applicants in the following areas:

• NSF FRG Postdoctoral Associate position, focused on deepening connections between commutative algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry through concrete use of homological mirror symmetry (Advised by Dr. Michael Brown).
• Research focus in differential geometry, geometric analysis, and partial differential equations (Advised by Dr. Xiaolong Li).

Applicants must have earned a PhD or equivalent degree in Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field by the time the appointment begins. Candidates selected must be able to meet eligibility requirements for employment in the United States at the time the appointment is scheduled to begin and be able to continue working legally for the proposed term of employment.

Candidates must possess excellent written and interpersonal communication skills.
