**About us**:
The Department of Mathematics at UCL is an internationally renowned department within one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Since its beginning, mathematics at UCL has been enhanced by its many outstanding members of staff. Indeed, two of its students (and later staff) Professor Klaus Roth (1958) and Professor Alan Baker (1970) have gone on to win the Fields Medal. Another former member of staff, Professor Tim Gowers, won the Fields Medal in 1998 for work he did whilst at UCL. Since 2014 the department has grown considerably with academic staff increasing by 60%. There are now 76 academic members of staff, of whom 13 are teaching specialists and 35 are full professors. The department has 23 Postdoctoral Research Fellows, around 85 PhD students and 40 MSc students. The broad range of research interests is reflected in the large choice of courses available in the third and fourth years of the degree programmes, from spectral theory, groups and geometry to fluid mechanics and from mathematical ideas in biology to cosmology. Research funding in the department, including from EPSRC, ERC, NERC and the Leverhulme Trust, has grown significantly in recent years, more than doubling since 2014. The department has internationally recognised research groups in pure and applied analysis; fluid mechanics; mathematical physics; geometry and topology; algebra, number theory and combinatorics; mathematical modelling in biology, finance, industry and society. There are regular departmental seminar series in financial mathematics and applied mathematics, as well as seminar series joint with other London universities in number theory, geometry and analysis. There are regular London-Paris meetings in analysis and number theory and a London-Brussels meeting in geometry. The department hosts an annual meeting in the dynamics of rotating fluids. The department has two Fellowship schemes: the Clifford Research Fellowship (inaugurated in 2014, currently advertising in applied mathematics) and the IMSS Senior Research Fellowships (six researchers in post across our department and the Department of Statistical Science). These are aimed at attracting outstanding early-career fellows to UCL for a period of 3 years. The department, together with King's College London and Imperial College London has been running the London School of Geometry and Number Theory (LSGNT), an EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, since October 2014. The LSGNT is made up of about 40 mathematicians across the three Universities, with interests in different aspects of number theory, geometry and topology. The research training offered by the LSGNT differs from a traditional UK PhD in pure mathematics in a number of respects and will be closer to the US graduate school model with a broad mathematical training given in first year, with an emphasis on topics in geometry and number theory. There will be an ethos of working and learning together in a friendly and supportive environment. The collaborative spirit established in the first year will be maintained by a number of mechanisms including cross-College supervision teams, junior seminars and other working groups, and other activities such as a new LSGNT colloquium, an annual retreat and an annual conference.
