Research assistant position (postdoctoral) in "Social Machines of Mathematics", Oxford (U.K.)

We are pleased to announce the opening of a full-time Research Assistant position at the University of Oxford, as part of the EPSRC Social Machines of Mathematics project, led by Professor Ursula Martin.

This project works towards a broad goal of understanding the production of mathematics as a social machine, a combination of people, computers, and archives to create and apply mathematics. Project activities include: studies of mathematicians working collaboratively, both on-line and face-to-face, to understand more about the production of mathematics; developing a theory of such collaborative activities; and designing prototype tools to support collaboration. The post is fixed-term for up to 2 years, with the possibility of extension.
