**About you**

**What we can offer you**

Through our Centre for Higher Educational Practice, we promote academic professional learning for every member of University staff. We actively support educators to attain fellowship of the Higher Education Academy to demonstrate commitment to high quality teaching.

As a university we aim to create an inclusive environment and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and equality of opportunity. We are proud to be a founding signatory of the Athena Swan gender equality charter, we hold both an institutional Silver award, and our School holds a silver award separately. We are committed to further improving gender equality and diversity in our school.

At the University of Southampton, PhD students and Research Fellows have access to a wide range of professional development and skills training for them to become the next generation of research leaders tackling critical projects for the future. We leverage these opportunities to maximize the impact of our research. The impact track record of the Operational Research group is exemplary, with more than 30 years of experience in impact activities whilst leveraging a research group with more than 120 industrial partners, including defense (DSTL, Boeing Defense UK), aerospace (ESA, Airbus, Rolls Royce), and infrastructure (Heathrow, BT, NHS). We are the largest operations research (OR) group in the country. Our QS ranking in 2021 was 7th in the UK, and 33rd world-wide for OR. 98% of all mathematical research in OR was rated internationally excellent or world-leading by the latest government research assessment exercise.

We offer fantastic benefits including 44 days leave per year on a full-time basis (inclusive of bank holidays and University closure days), excellent family leave arrangements (including maternity, paternity, adoption, parental and carers leave), a wide variety of on and off-campus arts and culture facilities and access to a range of staff discounts and offers at local shops, restaurants, and service providers. You will also have access to our sports complex, and to Hartley Library based on our Highfield Campus.**Further details**:
