The Warwick Mathematics Institute invites applications for the post of Assistant or Associate Professor, to start in September 2027. We are open to applications in all areas of pure and applied mathematics.
Associate Professorships are permanent appointments and usually for those who already have a well-established track record in research and significant lecturing experience. Those appointed at the Assistant level are supported through a five-year probationary period to enable them to fulfil the criteria for promotion to Associate Professor.
All applicants should hold a PhD and have already demonstrated both excellence and independence in research along with an ability to teach effectively. We are seeking candidates who can make a strong contribution to both our research and our teaching, and who will make the most of the opportunities provided by our lively and vibrant departmental culture.
The Warwick Mathematics Institute is internationally recognised for its research and our best undergraduates are a match for those at any other UK university. We are one of only five UK mathematics departments in the world top 30 and we are the 5th highest UK mathematics department in the Complete University Guide. We run a wide range of weekly seminar series, and many workshops and conferences, for which our Mathematics Research Centre provides organisational support.
The department encourages the career advancement and promotion of all its staff, supporting promotion from Associate Professor to Reader and subsequently Full Professor in the same way that Assistant Professors are guided through the probationary process on their way to becoming Associate Professors.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, and we would particularly welcome applications from groups that are under-represented in UK mathematics. We are working hard towards improving our gender balance: we currently hold a Bronze Athena Swan award and our energetic Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion committee plays a significant role in shaping departmental policy.
We are an internationally diverse department. For those eligible, the University offers relocation and Immigration Support Scheme packages to assist with costs of relocating and any associated visa applications and health surcharge fees.
We are a world-leading research-intensive university founded in 1965. We are ranked 74th in the world and 9th in the UK. 92% of our research is rated world-leading or internationally excellent.
Closing Deadline: Sunday 18 October 2026 at 11:55pm (UK Time)
We provide a comprehensive range of benefits, including:
- An attractive pension scheme.
- 30 days holiday plus University Christmas closure.
- Generous parental/adoption leave policy.
- Onsite childcare facilities.
- Excellent learning and development opportunities.
- Access to flexible working arrangements.
