Titchmarsh Research Fellow

We are seeking talented postdoctoral researchers to take up exciting
Fellowship opportunities at the Mathematical Institute.





The prestigious Titchmarsh Research Fellowships provide an ideal opportunity
for candidates to pursue an independent research programme in pure
mathematics, and to join a large existing cohort of leading researchers on
Fellowship programmes at the Mathematical Institute

titchmarsh-fellowships





The Department is also advertising a similar fellowship scheme for Hooke
Research Fellows in applied mathematics:

Up to eight appointments will be made across the Hooke and Titchmarsh
Fellowships in this recruitment. 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 will have research interests compatible with those of our current
faculty in the algebra, combinatorics, geometry, history of mathematics,
logic, number theory, functional analysis, stochastic analysis or topology
groups, or the Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE (OxPDE); you must clearly state
at the start of your supporting letter which one of these research groups you
feel is closest to your work. If your research interest is Mathematical
Physics, the department is advertising a separate post for a Titchmarsh
Research Fellowship in Mathematical Physics, details of which can be found at:



https://my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.jobspec?p_id=176335.





The 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.





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 to support the department, averaged over the period of the
Fellowship to allow for extended visits elsewhere. (The exact nature of this
teaching will be in accordance with departmental need as determined by the
Head of Department, noting that the department may require you to teach in a
college to provide cover for a member of faculty).





Candidates will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or a
related discipline. They must 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, which guide our progress towards advancing
racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff
equality and diversity, we would particularly welcome applications from women
and from BME candidates, who are currently under-represented in positions of
this type within the department.





Please direct informal enquiries to the Recruitment Coordinator (email:
recruitment@maths.ox.ac.uk), quoting vacancy reference **175806**.





Applicants should read the job description before writing their application.
You will be required to upload a supporting letter setting out how you meet
the selection criteria (no more than 2 pages); a curriculum vitae of no more
than 2 pages; a separate full list of publications with your top 3 papers
starred; and a statement of research interests including a plan for research
during the Fellowship (no more than 3 pages).





As part of your application you are asked to provide two references. Please
note that only two reference letters will be considered. **Applicants are
responsible for contacting their referees and making sure that reference
letters are sent to** **references@maths.ox.ac.uk** **by the closing date.**
Referees should preferably not all be from the same institution. Whenever
possible one referee should be the applicant’s current, or most recent,
supervisor.





Only applications received before **12.00 noon UK time** on **Friday 22
November 2024** can be considered.
