About us The Department of Mathematics at UCL is an internationally renowned department within one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Since its beginning, mathematics at UCL has been enhanced by its many outstanding members of staff. Indeed, two of its students (and later staff) Professor Klaus Roth (1958) and Professor Alan Baker (1970) have gone on to win the Fields Medal. Another former member of staff Professor Tim Gowers won the Fields Medal in 1998 for work he did whilst at UCL.

Since 2011, the department has grown considerably, with over 100 academic and honorary staff members, including fellows of the Royal Society. The department also has over 25 postdoctoral research fellows. We welcome a regular stream of distinguished visiting academics from home and abroad. The broad range of research interests is reflected in the wide choice of courses available in the third and fourth years of the degree programmes, from spectral theory, groups and geometry to fluid mechanics and from mathematical ideas in biology to cosmology. Research funding in the department from EPSRC, Leverhulme Trust and the Welcome Trust has grown significantly in recent years, with an increase of 70% in total funding since 2011.

About the role Applications are invited for two full-time Research Fellow positions to work with Jeffrey Galkowski on the ERC Synergy project Phase-space-inspired Numerical Methods for High Frequency Wave Scattering (PSINumScat). More information about the project can be found at www.psinumscat.com.
