ICERM’s postdoctoral and researcher program brings early career mathematicians to the institute in order to support and expand their research and to create lasting career collaborations and connections. ICERM hires two categories of postdoctoral researchers: "Semester" postdoctoral fellows who participate in a single semester program, and a smaller number of "Institute" postdoctoral fellows who stay at ICERM for an academic year. Check mathjobs.org for all current postdoctoral job postings.

Research Associates are hired through funding from a Mathematics-Simons Collaboration on Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, and Computation, which is part of a collaboration with PIs at Boston University, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Brown. Learn more about the Simons research associate job postings.

John Carter
Spring Semester Postdoc, 2024
  Website
John Carter received his Ph.D. in 2023 from Missouri University of Science and Technology under the supervision of Daozhi Han. Following the completion of his program, he accepted a postdoctoral fellowship with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2023 working with Mark Shephard and Jefferey Banks. In Spring 2024, he will join ICERM as a Semester Postdoctoral Fellow in the Numerical PDEs: Analysis, Algorithms, and Data Challenges Semester Program. Carter’s research interests include numerical analysis, finite element methods, data assimilation, and ensemble methods related to uncertainty quantification. In particular, he has studied applications of an ensemble mean that involve multiple realizations of parameters to develop high-order numerical schemes.

Sijing received his Ph.D. at Louisiana State University in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Susanne C. Brenner. During 2020-2023, he was an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Connecticut working with Prof. Dmitriy Leykekhman. He will join ICERM as an Institute Postdoc in August 2023. His research lies in the fields of numerical analysis and scientific computing. Specifically, he is interested in finite element methods, multigrid methods, discontinuous Galerkin methods, PDE-constrained optimizations, and optimal control problems. His current work focuses on designing and analyzing finite element methods\discontinuous Galerkin methods and multigrid methods for elliptic optimal control problems. He is also working on stabilized finite element methods for convection-dominated problems and interior estimates of finite element methods for singularly perturbed parabolic equations.

Adam Logan
Simons Collaboration Senior Research Associate, 2023-2024
Adam Logan graduated from Princeton University in 1995 and received his doctorate from Harvard four years later. He then held postdoctoral positions at MSRI, UC Berkeley, CRM in Montreal, and the University of Waterloo as well as a tenure-track position at the University of Liverpool before leaving academia, first for finance and then to work for the Government of Canada, where he has been since 2010. His primary research interests have to do with modularity of varieties of dimension greater than 1 and arithmetic of K3 surfaces, but he is easily persuaded to work on other computational problems involving the arithmetic of geometrically interesting varieties, as illustrated by recent and ongoing work on higher modularity of elliptic curves over function fields, surfaces of maximal Picard rank, Ceresa cycles of plane quartic curves, and modular forms associated to Clifford algebras. In 2023-2024 he is a Senior Research Associate in the Simons Collaboration on Algebraic Geometry, Number Theory, and Computation.

David Lowry-Duda’s research interests primarily lie in analytic number theory, and in particular on automorphic forms and L-functions. During his PhD, he developed a new approach to study the size and behavior of automorphic forms. He has contributed to data creation for the LMFDB, as well as day-to-day maintenance. David completed his Ph.D. at Brown University in 2017, worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Warwick Mathematics Institute. David has returned to ICERM as a Senior Research Associate to work with Brendan Hassett as part of the Simons Collaboration on Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, and ComputationCollaboration on Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, and Computation.

Marissa received her Ph.D. in 2023 from the Mathematics department at the University of Oregon under the supervision of Dev Sinha. She will spend the 2023-2024 academic year as a postdoctoral fellow at ICERM, participating in the Fall semester program Math + Neuroscience. Her dissertation work focused on uncovering statistics about topological invariants of neural network functions using algebraic constructions from oriented matroid theory and geometric ideas from piecewise linear Morse theory, with the goal of characterizing the topological expressiveness of these functions. More generally, she is also interested in applications of computational topology, geometry, and combinatorics in the natural and mathematical sciences.

Henry von Wahl received his Ph.D. in 2021 from the University of Magdeburg, where he worked under the supervision of Thomas Richter. During 2022-2023, he was a Postdoc at the University of Vienna and since then has become a Lecturer at the University of Jena. He will join ICERM as a Semester Postdoc in the Spring of 2024, participating in the Numerical PDEs: Analysis, Algorithms, and Data Challenges program. His research interests are the development and numerical analysis of computational methods for (multi-) physics problems modeled by PDEs. In particular, his focus is on unfitted finite element methods and discontinuous Galerkin methods.

Yukun Yue received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2023 under the guidance of Prof. Franziska Weber and Prof. Noel Walkington. Following his graduation, he joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a Van Vleck Visiting Assistant Professor in Fall 2023, collaborating with Prof. Qin Li. He is set to continue in this role through 2026, with a term as a Semester Postdoc at ICERM in Spring 2024. His primary research areas are computational mathematics and numerical analysis, with a focus on PDE-related problems emerging from physics. Currently, he is involved in projects related to liquid crystals simulation, computational fluid mechanics, and plasma control. He is also open to exploring other physics-driven problems.
