About the role

Applications are invited for a Lecturer, Senior Lecturer or Reader in Geometric Analysis. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding candidate with a successful track record of applying rigorous research methods to address emerging problems in the general field of Pure Mathematics and in Geometric Analysis in particular. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a research platform within the School and interact with one or more of the existing research groups in the School. We particularly welcome applicants who would complement existing expertise in the School's Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation Group. This group currently has a vigorous well-funded research programme with a large cohort of PhD students and many collaborative links across London, the UK and internationally.

The successful candidate will have the ability and flexibility to teach across a wide range of topics in mathematics. All candidates should have a strong interest in pursuing excellence in teaching and supervising graduate students, and will have demonstrated exceptional potential for achieving research excellence. Applicants whose work has had a significant impact outside of the university environment are particularly encouraged to apply.
