Heillbronn Research Fellowships in Pure Mathematics, Data Science, and Quantum Computing

Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research

Are you interested in using your skills in pure mathematics, data science or quantum information as part of a team working on exciting real world problems that help to keep the UK safe?

Our 3 year Heilbronn Postdoctoral Research Fellowships provide the opportunity to continue your own personal research alongside working on varied and classified projects, collaborating with colleagues in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts an emphasis on teamwork. Research areas of interest include, but are not restricted to, Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Combinatorics, Data Science, Number Theory, Probability, and Quantum Information. Fellows have previously been appointed with backgrounds in most areas of Pure Mathematics, Data Science and Statistics, Quantum Information and Mathematical/Theoretical Physics. You will also be offered training and developments opportunities that fit your career ambitions, research needs and personal development requirements. 
We expect to make a number of appointments at the University of Bristol, Imperial College London, King's College London, University College London, University of Manchester for October 2025. 
 
These appointments will mainly be in Pure Mathematics with up to 2 of the appointments at the University of Bristol in Data Science or Quantum Computing
Research areas of interest include, but are not restricted to, Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Combinatorics, Computational Statistics, Data Science, Number Theory, Probability, and Quantum Computing. These areas are interpreted broadly: Fellows have previously been appointed with backgrounds in most areas of Pure Mathematics and Statistics, and in several areas of Mathematical/Theoretical Physics. 
Starting Salary: £45,232 - £50,474 depending on previous experience, with the London weighting where appropriate. In addition, a fund of £2.5k pa to pay for research expenses will be available to each Fellow. Our Fellowships are 3 years fixed term with a preferred start date of 1st October 2025. Heilbronn Fellows divide their time equally between their own research and the classified research programme of the Heilbronn Institute. 
Equal Opportunities - Diversity and inclusion are critical to the vision and mission of the Heilbronn Institute. We seek a truly diverse workforce which includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from those groups that are currently under-represented in mathematics. 
 
Due to the nature of the Heilbronn Institute’s work, Fellows must be willing to apply for a national security clearance at an appropriate level. UK resident UK nationals will normally be able to meet this condition: other potential applicants are welcome to contact the Heilbronn Manager, himr-recruitment@bristol.ac.uk to discuss eligibility. 
  
More information about the Institute and the application procedure may be found at our website: https://heilbronn.ac.uk and the webpage https://heilbronn.ac.uk/fellowships/ ;
Some of our Fellowships are funded through the UKRI/EPSRC 'Additional Funding for Mathematical Sciences Programme'.
Applications will be made through mathjobs.org. Applicants will need to submit a cover letter, indicating the institutions where they prefer to hold their Fellowship from the above list of partner universities. In addition, we require a CV and a one-page statement of proposed research. Applicants must arrange for three letters of reference to be uploaded to the mathjobs.org website, prior to the closing date. 
 
We anticipate holding interviews online over the 13th - 16th of January 2025. 
 
The application deadline is 11.59pm GMT, 17th November 2024.
Location: Bristol, London, Manchester
Salary: £45,232 to £50,474 per annum, depending on previous experience, with the London weighting where appropriate
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
