With over 100 events planned for Michaelmas term, the Careers Service offers a wide range of opportunities to help you build a successful professional future. Events include skills workshops, information sessions, six in-person careers fairs, and skills development programmes covering topics such as CV writing, interview skills, and sector insights.
Harris Hill, an independent schools recruitment company, have several Maths teaching positions with leading independent schools in London and the South East of England from January 2026 These are permanent positions which would entail teaching Maths to A level.
Essential: An excellent academic background including an undergraduate degree in Maths or related discipline.

Registration for the ‘Underrepresented Genders in Mathematics 2025: Opportunities for the future’ is now open.
This event aims to encourage students who are either women or members of another underrepresented gender within STEM, to continue their studies to graduate level and beyond. The conference will take place in the School of Mathematics Fry Building, Woodland Road, Bristol on the 24th October 2025.
No, you're not losing it, it really is 2pm. A special session:
Join bestselling author Simon Singh and Oxford Mathematician turned educator Junaid Mubeen for a session on maths communication. Learn how to present mathematics in a way that is both accessible and engaging, and how to apply these principles in a teaching context.

Two partition-function approaches to non-symmetric random tensor eigenvalues
Giacomo La Scala
(Oxford University)
Abstract
At large N, random matrices with Gaussian distributed entries follow the Wigner semicircular law for the distribution of their eigenvalues. Random tensors are of interest in contexts of d > 2 dimensional quantum theories but do not enjoy simple generalisations of eigenvalues. Work has recently been done by Gurau to extend Wigner’s law to totally symmetric random tensors, with an approach inspired by the partition function of a Gaussian p-spin model. Starting from Gurau’s approach, I will motivate and introduce two new attempts to define and study eigenvalues of non-symmetric random tensors through partition functions, at finite and large N. One approach, based on a definition of a characteristic function, will be related to Gurau’s distribution. The other, based on a permuted definition of eigenvalues, will hint at a universality with differently-computed distributions for symmetric and complex random tensors.
