The Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research invites
applications for Heilbronn Research Fellowships. Fellows divide their time
equally between their own research and the internal research programme of the
Heilbronn Institute, which offers opportunities to engage in collaborative work
as well as individual projects. Fellowships are available at any of our partner
institutions: Imperial College
London, King’s College London,
University of Bristol, University College London, University of Manchester. Research areas of interest include, but are not restricted
to, Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Combinatorics, Computational Statistics, Data
Science, Number Theory, Probability, and Quantum Information. These areas are
interpreted broadly: Fellows have previously been appointed with backgrounds in
most areas of Pure Mathematics and Statistics, and in several areas of
Mathematical/Theoretical Physics. Due to the nature of
the Heilbronn Institute’s work, Fellows will be required to obtain and maintain
a Developed Vetting (DV) security clearance. UK resident UK nationals will
normally be able to meet this condition: other potential applicants should
consult the Heilbronn Manager, himr-recruitment@bristol.ac.uk about eligibility
before applying. For more information
about the Heilbronn Institute and these Fellowships, see http://heilbronn.ac.uk/fellowships-2021/ The salary range for
these Fellowships is £38,017-£42,792 depending on previous experience, plus the
London weighting where appropriate. There is a salary supplement of £3.5K pa,
in recognition of the distinctive nature of these Fellowships. Payment of this
supplement is conditional on a PhD thesis having been accepted in final form.
In addition, a fund of at least £2.5K pa to pay for research expenses will be
available to each Fellow. The Fellowship will be for three years, with a preferred
start date in October 2021, though another date may be possible by prior
agreement. Extensions of up to three years may be available, which can be held
at a wider range of universities in the UK. The Heilbronn Institute is a supporter of the LMS Good
Practice Scheme aimed at advancing women’s careers in mathematics and we
particularly welcome applications from women and other under-represented groups
for this post. For more information, please see https://heilbronn.ac.uk/diversity/
Applications will be made through mathjobs.org. Applicants
will need to submit a cover letter, indicating the institutions where they wish
to hold their Fellowship from the above list of partner universities. In
addition, we require a CV and a one-page statement of proposed research.
Applicants must also arrange for three letters of reference to be uploaded to
the mathjobs.org website, prior to the closing date. Candidates only need to
make one application, even if they are interested in applying for a Fellowship in
two or more of our host institutions. We anticipate holding interviews during the week of January
18th 2021. The application deadline is 11.59pm GMT, Sunday November
15th 2020. |
