Hooke Research Fellowship in Numerical Analysis

Grade 7: Salary £31,604 - £38,833 p.a.

We invite applications from talented postdoctoral researchers for a Hooke Research Fellowship in Numerical Analysis. This prestigious Fellowship at the University of Oxford is fixed term up to 36 months and provides an ideal opportunity for candidates to pursue an independent research programme.  The successful candidate will be expected to take up the position in January 2019. Applications for job shares or for part-time working to accommodate family circumstances will be considered.

Candidates for this Fellowship should have research interests in numerical analysis. The successful applicant will be a talented researcher, who has already produced excellent research during their PhD and in any postdoctoral positions. They will be free to conduct their own research programme.

To aid the development of their academic profile, the Fellow will be required to contribute up to three hours of departmental teaching per week for the 24 weeks of each academic year, averaged over the period of the Fellowship to allow for extended visits elsewhere.

Candidates will be expected to have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or a related discipline. Candidates must show evidence of independence and the ability to undertake research of the highest academic standard, hold an outstanding record of papers published in major international journals (commensurate with career stage), and have a realisable and relevant research plan which would increase the breadth of research within the Numerical Analysis Group. Additional information about the post, and a full list of selection criteria, are available in the job description.

Please direct informal enquiries to the Recruitment Administrator (email:vacancies@maths.ox.ac.uk), quoting vacancy reference 134352.

Applicants should read the job description before writing their application.  You will be required to upload a supporting letter setting out how you meet the selection criteria, a curriculum vitae including full list of publications with top three papers starred, a copy of your best paper, a statement of research interests and a plan for research during the Fellowship and the names and contact details of two referees as part of your online application. (NOTE: Applicants are responsible for contacting their referees and making sure that their letters are received by the closing date.)
