Our talented scholars and researchers from around the world are tackling global issues and making a difference to people's lives.

Our University Strategy is built on three pillars of research, education and wider student experience, but also on our keen sense of community and of inspiring others to achieve their potential.

**The Department**

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is one of the UK’s leading Mathematics Departments with an outstanding reputation in teaching, research and students’ employability. It has an active programme of internationally recognized research in Pure Mathematics, Mathematical and Theoretical Particle Physics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Probability. The research culture is vibrant, with many visitors, seminars, international conferences, and workshops. We aim to provide a supportive and friendly environment with a strong sense of community. The Department currently has over 100 permanent members of staff. In 2021, we moved to a newly constructed building, shared with Computer Science.

The Department has a proud tradition of delivering excellence in its undergraduate programmes through research-led and small group teaching. Attracting some of the best students in the country (8th best average UCAS entry tariff), the Department was ranked 11th in the Complete University Guide 2023.

The Department holds an Athena SWAN Bronze award. Athena SWAN is a national initiative that recognises the advancement of gender equality, representation, progression and success for all in academia. The Department also supports the London Mathematical Society Good Practice Scheme, whose aim is to support mathematics departments to embed equal opportunities for women within their working practices.

Role

We expect Willmore Fellows to contribute modestly to the Department’s teaching, typically in the form of final-year undergraduate project supervision in their area of research, delivering tutorials or computer practical classes, and possibly some lecturing. Allocation of teaching duties will take account of the Fellow’s expertise and experience as well as the Department’s needs. The teaching and administration load would typically take up around 20% of the Fellow’s time each year.

**Assistant Professors (Research) at Durham**

The University is committed to enabling all of our colleagues to achieve their full potential. We promote and maintain an inclusive and supportive environment to ensure that all colleagues can thrive. Academic colleagues are supported to publish world-class research in their area of interest with a focus on quality in high impact journals, rather than quantity. We will fully support your research needs including practical help, such as resources to attend conferences and to fund research activity, as well as a generous research leave policy and a designated mentor.

All of our Assistant Professors (Research) are encouraged to focus on research but also to engage in wider citizenship to enhance their own development, to support their department and wider discipline. Durham University is also committed to ensuring outstanding teaching quality, stimulating learning environments, and innovative curricula for all our students. You will be supported to develop your teaching expertise and skills as Willmore Fellowships include teaching duties up to 0.2 FTE.
