About The Role
2 x Teaching & Research Fellow Positions (Up to 3 years fixed term contract). The university has recently introduced these Teaching and Research Fellow positions, which are designed to make a valuable contribution to the department’s teaching provision while also enabling appointees with time to develop and maintain their own research programme. As a Teaching & Research Fellow, you will play a leading role in delivering support classes and tutorials, and grading assignments for our undergraduate students. You will also contribute to a range of other teaching and learning activities, possibly including personal tutoring, outreach, and open days. You will spend 50% of your time over the year pursuing your own research in Mathematics. We will find you a mentor in your own subject area, but you will be free to create your own research agenda.
About You
- You will have completed, or be close to completing, a PhD in Mathematics; this post would be suitable as a first postdoctoral appointment, although applications are also welcome from those with more experience.
- You will have experience of teaching small groups, and be able to demonstrate strong research potential.
- You will have a sound understanding of Mathematics at first- and second-year University level, ideally across the breadth of the Warwick curriculum.
- You will be enthusiastic and committed to delivering a high-quality learning experience.
- You will be able to work independently and as part of a team, aiding in the delivery and development of a busy teaching programme at Warwick.
- You will have good planning, time management and communication skills, and be able to engage with students during their learning experience in order to facilitate effective learning.
- For one of the positions, preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate advanced knowledge of Python.
About The Department
The department is internationally recognised for its research and our best undergraduates are a match for those at any other UK university. Our historical strengths in pure mathematics are now complemented by increasingly broad coverage of applied subjects. We run a wide range of weekly seminar series, and many workshops and conferences, for which our Mathematics Research Centre provides organisational support. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, and we actively encourage applications from groups that are under‑represented in UK mathematics. In particular, 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.
About The University
We are a world‑leading research‑intensive university founded in 1965. We are ranked 74th in the world and 9th in the UK. Additionally, 92% of our research is rated world‑leading or internationally excellent.
