Hooke Research Fellowship

The prestigious Hooke Research Fellowship provides 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.

The Fellowship is 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.

Research Group Interests

Candidates will have research interests compatible with those of our current faculty in the following research groups: Mathematical Biology, Machine Learning and Data Science, Mathematical and Computational Finance, Numerical Analysis, or the Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (OCIAM).

You must clearly state at the start of your supporting letter which one research group you feel is closest to your work. You may also indicate a second-choice research group. Candidates whose research straddles the two schemes are encouraged to apply separately for both positions.

Benefits

• office space
• desktop computer
• £3,000 per annum for travel and other academic expenses

Teaching Responsibilities

To aid the development of their academic profile, Fellows will be required to contribute up to three hours of teaching per week for the 24 weeks of each academic year, averaged over the period of the Fellowship to allow for extended visits elsewhere. The exact nature of teaching will be determined by departmental need and may include teaching in a college to provide cover for a member of faculty.

Academia

Candidates will have, or be close to completing, a PhD/DPhil in mathematics or a related discipline.

They must demonstrate independence and the ability to undertake research of the highest academic standard, an outstanding publication record commensurate with career stage, and a realisable and relevant research plan which would enhance the research profile of the Mathematical Institute.

Further selection criteria are available in the job description.

Diversity and Equality

We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, particularly from women and ethnic minorities.
