Job Description:
Do you have a track record of highâquality research and a clear vision for developing your profile at an international level? Can you contribute to innovative researchâled teaching and support an excellent student experience across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes? Are you committed to working collaboratively, contributing to an inclusive and supportive School community, and engaging in active academic citizenship?
The School of Mathematics fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment for impactful research and education. Our vibrant community of around 100 permanent academics brings together staff and students from across the globe. Reflecting this strength, the most recent REF rated 98% of our research and 100% of our impact case studies as worldâleading or internationally excellent.
We anticipate recruiting at least one candidate in each of the Departments of Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics. We particularly welcome applicants whose research aligns with, extends or enhances one or more of our core themes:
- Algebra and Integrable Systems
- Geometry and Analysis
- Logic
- Applied Nonlinear Dynamics
- Astrophysical and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
- Complex Materials and Industrial Mathematics
- Mathematical Biology and Medicine
- Data Science
- Probability and Financial Mathematics
- Statistical Methodology and Applications.
We also have a strategic interest in appointing one or more researchers whose work is interdisciplinary (i.e., at the interface with other academic disciplines beyond Mathematics) or bridges across our existing research themes. In Statistics, we particularly welcome applications from candidates with expertise in Statistical Methodology and/or the ability to teach across our portfolio of Data Science programmes.
This role offers the opportunity to develop and sustain a highâquality, internationally recognised research programme aligned with the School’s strategic priorities, including active engagement in collaborative, interdisciplinary, and externally funded research.
You will deliver researchâinformed teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, contributing to curriculum design, innovation, and enhancement. You will play a key role in fostering an inclusive, engaging, and highâquality student experience, and will support the academic and professional development of students and earlyâcareer researchers through effective supervision and mentoring.
In addition, you will contribute to the effective and collegial operation of the School through administrative and service activities, working collaboratively with colleagues and supporting the University’s commitment to excellence, equity, diversity, and inclusion. The role may also include teaching or academic engagement in support of the School’s transnational education activities, including overseas teaching, for up to six weeks in an academic year.
What we offer in return
- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
- Generous pension scheme plus life assurance– the University contributes 14.5% of salary
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
