Lecturer/ Senior Lecturer in Pure Mathematics/ Mathematical Physics

The School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sheffield is seeking to recruit an open-ended academic position as part of a strategic initiative to strengthen its research activity in the fields of Algebraic Geometry, Mathematical Physics, and Gravitation and Cosmology. The appointment will be made at either Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level according to the experience of the successful candidate. We particularly welcome applicants with a proven track record of research in one or more of the following subjects: enumerative algebraic geometry; mirror symmetry; mathematical aspects of quantum field theory and string theory; quantum gravity; and quantum cosmology.

The School has a strong research ethos and an international reputation in research, with groups in Algebra and Geometry, Number Theory, Topology, Fluid Dynamics, Solar Physics and Plasmas, Mathematical Biology and Environment, Gravitation and Cosmology, Probability, and Statistics. There are also fruitful interdisciplinary links across the University.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience. The School is a supporter of the LMS Good Practice Scheme and a recipient of an Athena Swan Bronze award. We recognise the structural barriers to participation faced by many individuals from under-represented groups and are committed to supporting staff from diverse backgrounds to base their career in our community. We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.
