Assistant Professor (Willmore Fellow)

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Durham University is investing in excellence and seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor (Research) in Mathematical and Theoretical Particle Physics (Willmore Fellow). This 3-year fixed term position is for candidates who are in the early stages of their research career and ideally have between 2 and 6 years of research experience since their PhD by the closing date of the call. A Durham Willmore Fellowship provides the opportunity to build an independent research career. We advertise on average one Willmore Fellowship each year. Those appointed are expected to be strong candidates for permanent posts in universities at the end of their Fellowship.

More information the Willmore Postdoctoral Fellowships is available on our website at https://www.dur.ac.uk/mathematical.sciences/distinguishedfellows/willmorefellows/.

This post offers an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the ongoing development of our Theoretical Particle Physics group. It will allow you to participate in internationally excellent research and teaching while offering you unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive institution. We expect Willmore Fellows to contribute contribute modestly to the Department's teaching, typically in the form of final-year undergraduate project supervision in their area of research, delivering tutorials or computer practical classes, and possibly some lecturing. Allocation of teaching duties will take account of the Fellow's expertise and experience as well as the Department's needs. The teaching and administration load would typically take up around 20% of the Fellow's time each year.
