The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath is inviting applications for a Lecturer position (equivalent to Assistant Professor) in Analysis.

We will consider applications from all areas of Mathematical Analysis and adjacent fields. Relevant to this post, the Department has particular strengths in Partial Differential Equations, Calculus of Variations, Geometric Analysis, Stochastic Differential Equations, Harmonic Analysis, Control Theory, Spectral Theory and analysis applied to Fluid and Solid Mechanics, Material Science and Numerical Analysis. We are seeking candidates with a developing track record of independent research of international standing who will enhance and extend the department’s existing strengths and interact with current members of the department.

You are expected to show the potential for achieving and sustaining a leading research programme, and to be active in developing and submitting competitive applications for external funding. You should also have a commitment to pursuing excellence in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and in supervising graduate students.

Both the Department and the University are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment and the Department has recently won an Athena Swan Silver award.

Alongside completion of the online application form, candidates should upload:

a full Curriculum Vitae

a statement of research interests of up to three pages, also explaining how their work would strengthen existing activity at Bath

a one-page summary of teaching experience and strategy

Informal enquiries may be addressed to: Prof. Roger Moser (R.Moser@bath.ac.uk) or Prof. Monica Musso (M.Musso@bath.ac.uk).

The Department of Mathematical Sciences has a high international profile with around 70 permanent academic staff from all areas of mathematics, over 100 PhD students and a large number of visitors and post-docs. Our Department emphasises the unity of Mathematics and there are strong interactions between research groups.

Various research centres such as the Centre for Mathematical Biology, the Centre for Mathematics and Algorithms for Data, the Centre for Networks and Collective Behaviour, and the Centre for Nonlinear Mechanics, provide focus in interdisciplinary collaborations. Doctoral studies are supported by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics at Bath (SAMBa), which has currently over 70 PhD students. In addition, the Institute for Mathematical Innovation (IMI) promotes and supports cross-campus research activities, industrial, and international collaborations, in all areas of mathematical sciences.

Bath provides a very high quality of life, with exceptional cultural, sporting and other facilities. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on account of its unique architecture and history. It has good transport links to London, the rest of the UK and elsewhere. Our campus is surrounded by beautiful countryside only a short distance away and is an excellent environment in which to work.

We are committed to providing a family friendly workplace and our staff have access to a number of services that promote wellbeing and improve work-life balance.

We aim to be an inclusive university, where difference is celebrated, respected and encouraged. We truly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds leads to a better environment for our employees and students, creating a learning environment and organisational culture that enhances health and wellbeing across our community.
