"OMI-Hooke Research Fellows"

We are seeking talented postdoctoral researchers to take up exciting Fellowship opportunities at the Mathematical Institute. The prestigious OMI-Hooke Research Fellowships provide an ideal opportunity for candidates to pursue an independent research programme in quantitative finance, and in particular data science applied to quantitative finance. Postholders will be concurrently elected to associated Research Fellowships at Reuben College, Oxford’s newest postgraduate college.

The Fellowship is full-time, and fixed-term for up to 36 months, associated with a Research Fellowship at Reuben College; applications for job shares or for part-time working to accommodate family circumstances will be considered.

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 and to support the department, Fellows will be required to contribute up to thirty hours of teaching per academic year. The exact nature of this teaching will be in accordance with departmental need as determined by the Head of Department in consultation with the Director of the Oxford-Man Institute (OMI) and the Mathematical & Computational Finance group.

Candidates will be expected to have a completed doctorate in mathematics or a related discipline by the start date of the position. (Candidates who have not yet been awarded their doctorate should provide the date they expect to submit their thesis in their supporting statement). 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 Oxford-Man 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.
