About the Role
Conduct high-impact research in finite geometry, extremal combinatorics and Ramsey theory.
Develop and analyse geometric and algebraic constructions of graphs arising from finite fields, projective and polar spaces, and related structures.
Apply computational methods (e.g. Magma, GAP, SageMath, Python) to test conjectures and explore new mathematical directions.
Publish research outcomes in leading peer-reviewed journals and present findings at international conferences and seminars.
Collaborate closely with Associate Professor John Bamberg, project investigators, CMSC researchers and international partners.
Contribute to the supervision and mentoring of Honours, Masters and PhD students.
About you
PhD in Mathematics or a closely related discipline, with expertise in areas such as finite geometry, Ramsey theory, combinatorics, algebraic graph theory or computational mathematics.
