The Opportunity
Join Monash University’s cutting‑edge mathematical research in the Faculty of Science as a Research Fellow and contribute to computational and theoretical aspects of Dynamical Systems.
This position will involve contributing to a research project addressing two major open problems in mathematics: Hilbert’s 16th problem and the n-body problem.
The Research Fellow will be investigating the number and behaviour of limit cycles in planar polynomial vector fields, and/or exploring relative equilibria in gravitational systems.
You will advance both theoretical and computational methods and play an integral role in shaping the direction of this two-year research agenda.
