Job Description:

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is recruiting up to two lecturers in an area of applied mathematics other than theoretical particle physics and general relativity, with the possibility of one position being at Senior Lecturer level.

The successful candidate will have an excellent research record in an area of Applied Mathematics other than theoretical particle physics or general relativity. Preference may be given to candidates with research interests that fit in with existing ones in the department, in particular partial differential equations, the calculus of variations, and solar magnetohydrodynamics. She or he will be expected to undertake and publish original research of the highest level, to contribute to the research activities of the Applied Mathematics research unit and of the department as a whole, and to undertake teaching and administrative duties as assigned by the Head of Department of Mathematical Sciences. The Department of Mathematical Sciences encourages applications from holders of personal fellowships and from researchers who are interested in taking the position part-time.

Durham University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to recruiting staff from groups that are under-represented in academic posts in the University. The Department supports the LMS Good Practice Scheme.

Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in the University.
