Hooke & Titchmarsh Research Fellow (Complex Systems)

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

The prestigious Hooke/Titchmarsh Research Fellowship scheme provides an ideal opportunity for candidates to pursue an independent research programme in applied/pure 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.

Candidates will have a background in mathematics or physics and a record of outstanding research in the mathematical theory of Complex Systems, including Random Matrix Theory and its Applications, and Statistical Mechanics, interpreted broadly. They will complement, enhance and diversify existing strengths within the Mathematical Physics Research Group, as well as other related groups in the Mathematical Institute.

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.

Candidates will be expected to hold, or be close to completion of, a doctorate in mathematics or a related discipline. 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.
