Titchmarsh Research Fellowship in Mathematical Physics

We are seeking a talented postdoctoral researcher to take up a Titchmarsh
Research Fellowship in Mathematical Physics. This prestigious Fellowship at
the University of Oxford is full-time, and fixed-term for up to 36 months.
They provide an ideal opportunity for candidates to pursue an independent
research programme in Mathematical Physics, 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.





The Department is also advertising a similar fellowship scheme for Titchmarsh
Research Fellowships in other areas of pure mathematics, details of which can
be found at
https://my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.jobspec?p_id=175806
and for Hooke Research Fellowships in applied mathematics, details of which
can be found at:
https://my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.jobspec?p_id=175805.
There will be up to eight appointments made across the Hooke and Titchmarsh
Fellowships in this recruitment, including one appointment made from this
vacancy. Applications for job shares or for part-time working to accommodate
family circumstances will be considered.





Candidates for this Fellowship should have research interests compatible with
those of our current faculty in the Mathematical Physics research group, and
should indicate within their supporting letter one or more research group
members they could envision working alongside as a potential mentor or future
collaborator. The successful applicant will be a talented researcher, who has
already produced excellent research during their PhD and in any postdoctoral
positions. They will be free to conduct their own research programme.





To aid the development of their academic profile, the Fellow 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.





Candidates will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or
physics. 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, relevant to the
existing activities and/or expertise of the Mathematical Physics research
group, 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 description.





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
