Heilbronn Research Fellow

Research Fellow (4) Fixed-term contract
School of Mathematics
Salary: £33,884 - £44,166 per annum

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.

Research areas of interest include but are not restricted to number theory and algebraic geometry, algebra, combinatorics, probability, quantum information and statistical data mining. We expect to appoint a number of Fellows across the full range of these areas, at least one in each area mentioned above.

The Fellowships will be for three years, with a preferred start date in October 2013, though another date may be possible by agreement.

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.

There is a salary supplement of £3.5K pa, in recognition of the distinctive nature of these Fellowships. Payment of this supplement is conditional on a finished thesis having been accepted in final form, because we expect Heilbronn Fellows to hold PhDs before working at the Heilbronn Institute.
