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.We expect to make up to 12 appointments at the , , , , and for October 2025. These appointments will mainly be in Pure Mathematics with up to two of the appointments at the University of Bristol in Data Science or Quantum Computing.Starting salary: £45,232-£50,474 depending on previous experience, with the London weighting where appropriate.

We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are currently under-represented in mathematics.Due to the nature of the Institute’s work, Fellows must be willing to apply for a national security clearance at an appropriate level. UK resident UK nationals will normally be able to meet this condition: other potential applicants are welcome to contact the Heilbronn Manager at to discuss eligibility.More information about the Institute and the application procedure may be found at our website and the webpageApplications will be made through Applicants will need to submit a cover letter, indicating the institutions where they prefer to hold their Fellowship from the above list of partner universities. In addition, we require a CV and a one-page statement of proposed research. Applicants must arrange for three letters of reference to be uploaded to the mathjobs.org website, prior to the closing date.Some of our Fellowships are funded through the UKRI/EPSRC “Additional Funding for Mathematical Sciences Programme “.
