We are seeking talented postdoctoral researchers to take up exciting Fellowship opportunities at the Mathematical Institute.
The prestigious Hooke Research Fellowships provide an ideal opportunity for candidates to pursue an independent research programme in applied mathematics, and to join a large existing cohort of leading researchers on Fellowship programmes at the Mathematical Institute: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/people/research-fellowship-programmes/hooke-and-titchmarsh-fellowships
The prestigious Glasstone Research Fellowship in Science is supported by the Glasstone Bequest, which was set up to encourage scientists at an early stage of their career to follow their research interests at Oxford: https://www.mpls.ox.ac.uk/research-funding/internal-research-funding/glasstone-research-fellowships-in-science.
The Department is also advertising a similar fellowship scheme for Titchmarsh Research Fellows in pure mathematics which can be found at: https://www.jobs.ox.ac.uk/ using vacancy ID: 182818
Two Glasstone Fellowships are available and all applications for the Hooke and Titchmarsh Research Fellowships will automatically be considered for the Glasstone Fellowships. The Fellowships are full-time, and fixed-term for up to 36 months; applications for job shares or for part-time working to accommodate family circumstances will be considered.
Candidates should make one application which will automatically be considered for both the Hooke and Glasstone Fellowships. You will have research interests compatible with those of our current faculty in the following research groups: mathematical biology, mathematical and computational finance, numerical analysis, machine learning and data science, or the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (OCIAM); you must clearly state at the start of your supporting letter which of these research groups you feel is closest to your work. Successful applicants will be talented researchers, who have already produced excellent research during their PhD and in any postdoctoral positions. Securing a Fellowship will offer you the freedom to conduct your own research programme.
Candidates will be expected to have a completed doctorate in mathematics [or, for the Hooke Fellowship, a related discipline] by the start date of the position. (Candidates who have not yet been awarded their doctorate should provide the date they expect to submit their thesis in their supporting statement).
They should also show evidence of independence and the ability to undertake research of the highest academic standard, hold an outstanding record of papers published in major international journals (commensurate with career stage), and have a realisable and relevant research plan which would enhance the research profile of the Mathematical Institute. Additional information about the posts, and a full list of selection criteria, are available in the job descriptions.
We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award.
