We are welcoming applications across 13 research areas, one of which is Number Theory, and will make 6 appointments.

About the Prize Fellowship

Our Prize Fellowship offer early-stage researchers the opportunity to join a cohort of like-minded rising research stars. These two-year research fellowships in our priority research areas are part of a scheme intended to fast-track fellows to a permanent appointment at Bath. Alumni of the scheme have become scientific leaders, progressing rapidly within the university to Senior Lecturer, Reader and Professor. As a University of Bath Prize Fellow you will have the opportunity to:

* conduct high quality research as an independent researcher, including securing funding via research grants and/or fellowship applications and building a research group appropriate to the academic department and discipline; * develop international research links; * contribute to advanced undergraduate teaching and supervision, training and research of graduate students; * promote research in the discipline, including public engagement.

About you

To be considered for a Prize Fellowship at Bath you must hold PhD degree in subject area of direct relevance or be able to demonstrate equivalent significant relevant experience and professional qualification.

You will demonstrate a depth and breadth of specialist knowledge in order to contribute to research programmes and be able to show your potential to attract research funds

You will demonstrate expertise and knowledge in the latest developments in the field of research and in research design

About the department

The Department of Mathematics at Bath has a small group in Number Theory within the larger Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory group, which we aim to expand. We collaborate closely with other number theory groups in the region, including the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research in Bristol. There is great scope for deepening these links but also for widening our number theory research and building new collaborations.

For an informal discussion about these roles please contact Gregory Sankaran or Dan Loughran.
