We advertise several junior research positions (postdoc positions = research fellowships) each year. If you would like to work in the Department in such a position, please contact a member of staff in your research area. Some possible sources of funding are listed in the right hand column. See also general information About the Institute, a list of staff research interests, or contact the Department Secretary if you have particular questions.

Research Council (e.g. EPSRC), Royal Society and European Research Fellowships

Please be sure to contact us in plenty of time before application deadlines. Thank you.

There are several competitive Fellowship schemes to support talented researchers who do not currently have a permanent UK position, for periods of 1-5 years. These are offered by the Royal Society and by the EU/ERC. All provide a full salary plus support for travel, computing, etc; some, as described below, offer funding for a research team. The person who wishes to hold the Fellowship applies via a nominated host institution (which need not be their current home institution, and several of the schemes actively encourage or even demand mobility). Warwick has hosted several holders of such Fellowships in the past. We welcome enquiries from anyone considering applying for such Fellowships nominating Warwick as the host institution. Please either contact a relevant member of the academic staff or email the Head of Department giving brief details of the planned application. We need to know well in advance for administrative reasons, but we can also offer help in deciding which scheme is right for you and navigating through the financial and eligibility regulations etc. There are other competitions for more senior fellowships suitable for researchers who already have a permanent position; please contact us if you would like to apply to hold one of these Fellowships in Warwick.

Open (and expected) calls

There is a "new approach" to EPSRC Fellowships. At present it is possible to apply in Mathematics only in the areas of "Intradisciplinary Mathematics" (sic - Intra and not Inter), "Maths/ICT Interface", and "Statistics and Applied Probability" (see annex 4 = page 26 of the previous link). Under the new scheme there are no deadlines for applications. Anyone wishing to apply to hold a Fellowship at Warwick under the new scheme (and who believes they might be eligibile) should contact us.

Newton International Fellowships (Royal Society link)(2 years funding plus follow-up money for 10 years) for junior researchers (PhD or 1-2 postdoc positions). Only for people who are not UK citizens and who are not working in the UK already. Early contact between applicants and Warwick before application is essential. Deadline: 16th April 2012.

EU Marie Curie Fellowships. No limit on post doc experience but mobility in terms of crossing a national boundary is essential. 2 year Fellowships. There are two variants, the Intra-European Fellowships (IEF for those moving within the EU) and Incoming International Fellowships (IIF for those from outside the EU). Contact a member of staff to sponsor and work with you on your application. Deadline for completed submissions:16th August 2012
