Heilbronn Research Fellowships, University of Bristol, UK (2016)

The School of Mathematics invites applications for one or more Research Fellowships in association with the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research. You will divide your time equally between your own research and the research programme of the Heilbronn Institute.

We seek candidates who can contribute to "internal research" (see further particulars) in the field of quantum information. Your externally publishable research need not necessarily be in this area. The Fellowships will be for three years, to commence once security clearance is achieved, though another date may be possible by agreement.

Due to the nature of the Heilbronn Institute's work, you must satisfy vetting before appointment. UK resident UK nationals will normally be able to meet this condition: other potential applicants should consult the Heilbronn Manager about their eligibility before applying. You may become a member of the USS pension scheme. Research expenses of at least £2,000 per annum will also be available.

There is a salary supplement of £3.5K pa, in recognition of the distinctive nature of these Fellowships. Payment of this supplement is conditional on a finished thesis having been accepted in final form, because we expect Heilbronn Fellows to hold PhDs before working at the Heilbronn Institute.

We particularly welcome suitably qualified female applicants, as women are currently under-represented in the School of Mathematics. The School of Mathematics is a supporter of the LMS Good Practice Scheme aiming at advancing women's careers in mathematics http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/admin/life/women/

Enquiries about the fellowships may be addressed to Chrystal Cherniwchan, Heilbronn Manager, School of Mathematics, telephone (+44)(0)117 331 5260, email: heilbronn-coordinator@bristol.ac.uk .

Applications should include a statement of proposed research (not more than one side of A4). Candidates should ask three referees to email references to: Ms Chrystal Cherniwchan, Heilbronn Manager, School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, BS8 1TW, UK. Tel. (+44) 0117 331 5260 Email: heilbronn-coordinator@bristol.ac.uk, these should be received around the same time as you submit your on-line application via our HR website (It is a candidate's own responsibility to ensure that the reference letters are received by the time you have applied, as these application will be reviewed periodically.)
