Senior Applied Mathematician / Researcher (Background in Probabilistic Modeling)

About Nomos

Nomos is a new blockchain designed from the ground up with the original cypherpunk ethos: decentralization, censorship resistance, permissionless-ness and privacy. It will serve as the trustless agreements layer of the Logos stack. The forthcoming Nomos network will provide a common infrastructure layer upon which communities and aspiring network states can build social, governance, and financial services that uphold their community members’ fundamental rights and values.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and refine mathematical models of complex systems using probabilistic frameworks, specifically in the field of blockchain technologies.
• Apply advanced methods in probability and statistics to solve real-world challenges in distributed or networked environments.
• Understand engineering requirements and translate them into mathematical models for their analysis.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, translating theoretical constructs into commercially viable solutions.
• Lead the applied research efforts, bridging academic rigor with practical, industry-focused outcomes.

Ideally, you will have Re

• Strong background in applied mathematics (complex systems and stochastic processes).
• Proven track record of using advanced mathematical tools to tackle real-world, large-scale problems.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly both in written and verbal form.
• Experience with or strong interest in blockchain, cryptography, distributed systems or networks.

Bonus points

• Exposure to blockchain concepts or decentralized technologies.
• Familiarity with cryptography and open-source contributions.
• Advanced degree (PhD or MsC with significant research experience) in Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science, or a related field—paired with commercial experience.
