Heilbronn Research Fellowships in Pure Mathematics, Data Science, and Quantum Computing

The Fellowships Application is now Open

Are you interested in using your skills in pure mathematics, data science or quantum information as part of a team working on exciting real world mathematical problems that help to keep the UK safe? 

Our 3 year Heilbronn Postdoctoral Research Fellowships provide the opportunity to continue your own personal research alongside working on varied and fascinating classified research projects, collaborating with colleagues in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts an emphasis on teamwork. Research areas of interest include, but are not restricted to, Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Combinatorics, Data Science, Number Theory, Probability, and Quantum Information. Fellows have previously been appointed with backgrounds in most areas of Pure Mathematics, Data Science and Statistics, Quantum Information and Mathematical/Theoretical Physics. You will also be offered training and development opportunities that fit your career ambitions, research needs and personal development requirements.

Equal Opportunities: Diversity and inclusion are critical to the vision and mission of the Heilbronn Institute. We seek a truly diverse workforce which includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are currently under-represented in mathematics. We run an annual online pre-recruitment session for underrepresented groups in Mathematics. Further information about the session can be found here

Due to the nature of the Institute’s work, fellows must be willing to apply for a national security clearance at an appropriate level. Applications are open only to UK resident, UK or dual UK nationals. Applicants are welcome to contact the Heilbronn Manager at himr-recruitment@bristol.ac.uk to discuss eligibility.
