Missions

The person hired will work in collaboration with members of the ANR project Einstein Past Present and Future at the Institut Denis Poisson in Tours, on topics related to initial data for the Cauchy problem in general relativity.

Activities

The main activity of the person recruited will be centered around collaborative research with members of the ANR project within the laboratory. Secondary activities include
- Participation in one of the laboratory's seminars (e.g. geometry)
- Participation in ANR-related working group(s) (e.g. Asymptotic Journal Club)
- Participation in the geometry team day
- Participation in public events (Fête de la science and others)

Skills

- The candidate must hold a PhD in mathematics or theoretical physics.
- Research topics should be related to the study of initial data in general relativity, either analytically (analysis on varieties) or geometrically (geometric measure theory, Cartan geometries, etc.).

Work Context

The Institut Denis Poisson is a joint research unit under the dual supervision of the CNRS and the universities. It is divided into two sites: Orléans and Tours. The person recruited will be assigned to the Tours site. The laboratory is divided into four teams: an algebra and probabilities team, a mathematical modeling team, a theoretical physics team and an analysis and geometry team, each grouping different themes. The new recruit will join the analysis and geometry team (3 professors, 2 associate professors), whose members at Tours work mainly on analysis of varieties. Exchanges with other teams, in particular the Theoretical Physics team, will be appreciated.

Additional Information

Tthe contract is mainly financed by the ANR project Einstein Past Present and Future. Depending on the candidate's profile, part of the funding (up to 2 months) may be covered by the laboratory.
