Closing Date: 27 February 2022 at Midnight (UK) The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to the role of Assistant Professor. We welcome applications from exceptional candidates with research and teaching interests in the broad field of Theoretical Particle Physics and we are particularly eager to hear from applicants with a focus on field theory, string theory and theoretical cosmology. This post offers an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the development of internationally excellent research and teaching while allowing you unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive institution. For more information, please visit our Department pages at Mathematical Sciences - Durham University. The Department is
one of the UK’s best mathematics departments, with an outstanding reputation in
research, teaching, and student employability. Ranked 7th in terms of grade
point average intensity in the Research Excellence Framework 2014, it has an
active programme of internationally recognised research in Pure Mathematics,
Applied Mathematics (including Applied and Computational Mathematics as well as
Mathematical and Theoretical Particle Physics), and Statistics and
Probability. The research culture is vibrant,
with many visitors, seminars, international conferences and workshops. We aim to provide a supportive and friendly
environment with a strong sense of community.
The Department, which currently has 100 permanent members of staff, has
recently grown significantly, and will continue to grow. In early 2021, we moved to a newly
constructed building, which we share with Computer Science, with the goal of
fostering constructive interdisciplinary exchanges. The
Department has a proud tradition of delivering excellence in its undergraduate
programmes through research-led and small group teaching. Attracting some of
the best students in the UK, the Department is ranked 7th in the Complete
University Guide 2022. The
Department holds an Athena SWAN Bronze award. Athena SWAN is a national initiative
that recognises the advancement of gender equality, representation, progression
and success for all in academia. The Department also supports the London
Mathematical Society Good Practice Scheme, whose aim is to support mathematics
departments to embed equal opportunities for women within their working
practices.
