The Department of Mathematics invites applications for one or more Research Fellowships in association with the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research. You will divide your time equally between your own research and the research programme of the Heilbronn Institute.

You will possess skills in areas of statistical data mining such as semi-supervised learning, recommender systems and information flow in graphs: however, your own research need not be directly in such areas. The Fellowships will be for three years, with a preferred start date in September 2011.

Due to the nature of the Heilbronn Institute's work, you must satisfy vetting before appointment. UK resident UK nationals will normally be able to meet this condition: other potential applicants should consult the Director about their eligibility before applying. You may become a member of the USS pension scheme. Research expenses of at least £2,000 per annum will also be available.

Informal enquiries about the fellowships may be addressed to Dr Oliver Johnson, School of Mathematics on +44 (0) 117 928 8632 or e-mail assoc-director-himr@bristol.ac.uk

Informal enquiries regarding the work of the Heilbronn Institute may be addressed to the Director of the Institute, Professor Malcolm MacCallumon +44 (0) 117 980 6303 or e-mail m.a.h.maccallum@bristol.ac.uk

Applications should include a statement of proposed research (not more than one side of A4). You should ask three referees to send references by the closing date (11 April 2011) to:
