Graduate Teaching and Research Scholarship in Mathematics

By October 2024, applicants will have completed at least one year of postgraduate study and will have embarked on a course leading to a DPhil in Mathematics at the University of Oxford. Applicants will be expected to have passed the Transfer of Status procedures before applying. Once appointed, the successful applicant will be expected to transfer his or her College membership to Oriel (with the permission of their current College). The successful candidate will also be required to take a course in tutorial teaching, if they have not already done so.

The Scholar will undertake teaching for up to 4 hours per week during term time to undergraduates at Oriel College and will provide guidance to students for completing work in advance of tutorials and appropriate written feedback on written work submitted. The precise teaching duties are flexible, and may to some extent be adapted to the successful candidate’s areas of expertise and experience. However, preference will be given to candidates who are able to teach Prelims and Part A mathematics courses in probability and statistics.

The GTR Scholar may be asked to play a part in the undergraduate admissions process (weeks 9 and 10 of Michaelmas Term). Admissions training will be provided.

The GTR Scholar will be paid for tutorial teaching and admissions at the hourly standard tuition rates as set by the Senior Tutors’ Committee. The postholder will receive free accommodation (or a stipend of £2,730 per annum if living outside College accommodation) and will also have access to a research allocation of £474 per annum. In addition, the postholder will be a member of both the Oriel Senior Common Room and the Middle Common Room and will be entitled to a certain number of free lunches and dinners in the Senior Common Room.
