Job Description:
About the Role
Applications are invited for a Lectureship in Computational Applied Mathematics. A Lecturer holds an indefinite appointment roughly equivalent to an Assistant or Associate Professor in the US system (depending on career stage).
We are seeking to appoint in an area of computational applied mathematics with applications to mathematical and high energy physics. This includes (but not limited to) numerical relativity simulations of dynamical spacetimes in holography, such as collisions of gravitational shockwaves in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes, and the connections to relativistic viscous hydrodynamics and heavy ion collisions. Expertise in quantum gravity, general relativity and gravitational waves or willingness to contribute to these areas as well will be considered as an advantage.
About You
The successful candidate will have an excellent research profile in numerical relativity and holography. Over time, the appointee will be expected to develop his or her own independent research platform within the School.
Candidates should also have a strong interest in pursuing excellence in teaching and the supervision of graduate students, as well as the ability and flexibility to teach across a range of topics related to computational aspects of Mathematics such as numerical solutions of PDEs and programming at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
About the School
The School of Mathematical Science has an exceptionally strong research presence across the spectrum of areas within Pure and Applied Mathematics and Statistics and is currently organised into seven research groups, namely: Algebra and Number Theory, Combinatorics, Complex Systems and Networks, Dynamical Systems and Statistical Physics, Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation, Probability and Applications, and Statistics and Data Science. Moreover, the University is a partner of the Alan Turing Institute, facilitating exciting opportunities for collaborations with other academic institutions and industry.
The School comprises 74 academic staff and associate lecturers, 16 research assistants and 14 members of professional services staff. The School is home to around 90 PhD students, and approximately 1,000 undergraduates and 100 master level students, together with an award-winning student led Mathematics Society.

About Queen Mary
Our performance in REF2021 cemented our status as one of the best research-intensive universities in the UK – ranked joint 7th for the quality of our research, with 92% of our research assessed as internationally excellent or world-leading.
Moreover, the University is a partner of the Alan Turing Institute, facilitating exciting opportunities for collaborations with other academic institutions and industry.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The School holds a departmental Bronze Athena SWAN Award and is a registered supporter of the LMS Good Practice scheme. We are committed to the equality of opportunities and to advancing women’s careers and strongly encourage applications from female applicants. We have policies to support staff returning from long-term absence, for flexible arrangements for staff with parental responsibilities and for child-care support for the attendance of conferences.

Benefits
Starting salary will be in the range of £44,931 - £55,805 per annum inclusive of London Allowance. Benefits include access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum, a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. Additionally, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
The post is based at the Mile End Campus in London. It is a full-time, permanent appointment, with an expected start date of June 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Prof. Pau Figueras at p.figueras@qmul.ac.uk
The closing date for applications is 12 March 2023.
Interviews are expected to be held shortly thereafter. |
