Job description

About us The Division of Arithmetic at UCL is an internationally famend division inside one of many world’s most prestigious universities. Since its starting, arithmetic at UCL has been enhanced by its many excellent members of workers. Certainly, two of its college students (and later workers) Professor Klaus Roth (1958) and Professor Alan Baker (1970) have gone on to win the Fields Medal. One other former member of workers Professor Tim Gowers gained the Fields Medal in 1998 for work he did while at UCL.
Since 2011 the division has grown significantly. There are roughly 81 tutorial members of whom 34 are full professors, and a lot of Honorary members of workers, together with Fellows of the Royal Society. The division additionally has roughly 28 Postdoctoral Analysis Fellows, round 102 PhD college students and 38 MSc college students. We additionally welcome a daily stream of distinguished visiting lecturers from residence and overseas. The broad vary of analysis pursuits is mirrored within the good selection of programs accessible within the third and fourth years of the diploma programmes, from spectral principle, teams and geometry to fluid mechanics and from mathematical concepts in biology to cosmology. Analysis funding within the division from EPSRC, ERC, Leverhulme Belief and the Wellcome Belief has grown considerably lately with a rise of 70% in complete funding since 2011.Concerning the position We’re in search of a extremely motivated and proficient applicant to affix the analysis group of Dr Iain Smears (Principal Investigator) on the EPSRC mission Superior Numerical Strategies for Imply Area Video games, Grant EP/Y008758/1. The main focus of this mission is on adaptive numerical strategies for Imply Area Video games (MFG), which originate in fashions of stochastic management and stochastic video games. MFG fashions are related to purposes of societal significance, corresponding to in power, monetary stability and the surroundings, which connect with a number of of the strategic precedence areas highlighted by EPSRC.The general intention of the mission is to develop state-of-the-art adaptive finite aspect strategies for Imply Area Video games. This consists of the event of novel mathematical principle for the rigorous evaluation of the numerical strategies, the design of novel algorithms to deal with the difficult constructions of the MFG system, and the implementation of the strategies in scientific software program codes.The Numerical Evaluation Group at UCL consists of 5 everlasting school members, together with Dr Iain Smears (PI), Dr M. Jensen, and Profs E. Burman, T. Betcke and D. Hewett. The group has experience throughout the vary of computational arithmetic, with particular strengths of the group are within the evaluation of finite aspect strategies, the numerical evaluation of nonlinear partial differential equations, and the numerical simulation of wave phenomena. The group additionally contains PhD college students and postdoctoral researchers. We set up a bi-weekly Numerical Evaluation seminar shared with Imperial School London, and recurrently host nationwide and worldwide audio system. The group additionally recurrently organises scientific workshops at UCL, such because the latest workshop on Numerical Strategies for Imply Area Video games and Associated PDE, and the upcoming European Finite Component Truthful in 2024.The submit is accessible from 1st July 2024 or as quickly as doable thereafter, and is funded for roughly 36 months till thirtieth June 2027 on the newest within the first occasion, resulting from funding restrictions.Duties and tasksAnalysisThe profitable candidate will perform high-level analysis on the forefront of the sector on numerical strategies for the partial differential equations as a part of the EPSRC analysis grant Superior Numerical Strategies for Imply Area Video games. The profitable candidate will conduct analysis on all elements of the numerical evaluation of the issues, together with growing new mathematical principle of the numerical strategies, implementing the algorithms in finite aspect software program libraries and performing intensive numerical computations. The profitable candidate will recurrently submit analysis findings for publications in refereed journals. The profitable candidate may also current analysis findings at common nationwide and worldwide conferences, interface with different staff members, and take part in seminars and analysis actions of the group.EducatingThe profitable candidate will educate one undergraduate degree course per 12 months, together with writing and marking of examinations and perform the duties of 2nd examiner.Administration and AdministrationThe profitable candidate will help within the group of a scientific occasions, corresponding to workshops and convention minisymposia, and all different required administrative duties required by the analysis mission.About you The profitable candidate can have a PhD or equal in Arithmetic or ought to be finalising a PhD or ready for a viva date. The profitable candidate can have a dedication to sustained excellence in analysis and have a growing file of publishing in arithmetic. As well as, the profitable candidate can have a file of presenting arithmetic analysis at nationwide and worldwide conferences, conferences or workshops. The profitable candidate can have glorious interpersonal expertise to facilitate participation in a analysis group and glorious communication expertise, each written and oral. The profitable candidate can have a robust background in numerical evaluation, mathematical evaluation, and programming expertise related to numerical computation.An excellent candidate can have a monitor file of analysis excellence in no less than one in every of: mathematical evaluation of partial differential equations, evaluation of numerical strategies for partial differential equations, computational elements of partial differential equations.Please be aware: Appointment at Grade 7 depends upon the award and affirmation of a PhD (or equal). If this isn’t the case, the preliminary appointment will likely be at Analysis Assistant Grade 6B, level 28 (wage £39,980 every year inclusive of London allowance), with fee at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of ultimate submission of the PhD thesis. For the total spectrum of duties and tasks in addition to important and desired standards please consult with the Additional Particulars doc hooked up to this advert.When you’ve got any queries relating to the emptiness or the applying course of, please contact Nancy Wilson (Nancy.wilson@ucl.ac.uk).Casual enquiries could also be addressed to Dr Iain Smears, e-mail: i.smears@ucl.ac.uk.We notably welcome feminine candidates and people from an ethnic minority, as they’re under-represented inside UCL at this degree.What we provide In addition to the thrilling alternatives this position presents, we additionally supply some nice advantages a few of that are beneath:

• Roughly 41 Days of vacation
• Further 5 days’ annual go away buy scheme
• Outlined profit profession common revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE)
• Cycle to work scheme and season ticket mortgage
• Immigration mortgage
