About this position

An opportunity is available for up to two Postdoctoral Research Associates in Pure Mathematics in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge.

The post is centered on developing and conducting an individual research programme in pure mathematics. Appointees will usually be affiliated with one of the department’s research groups and supported by a Faculty mentor, providing an academic setting that combines research independence with local guidance.

The role is research-focused, but it may also involve some academic service and teaching activity, including lecturing at Masters level, assisting with student research projects, or delivering small-group teaching. The position is therefore suited to researchers who want to strengthen their profile while contributing to the department’s broader teaching and research environment.

The department expects candidates to plan and manage their own research and administration, communicate technical material effectively, and build internal and external academic contacts. Informal research enquiries are directed to Professor Ivan Smith.

The post is offered on a fixed-term basis, with funding available for an initial three-year period, and successful candidates are eligible for an annual research allowance.

Funding details

Fixed-term funding available for 3 years in the first instance. Successful candidate is eligible for an annual research allowance up to £7,000.

What's required

Applicants must have a proven record of internationally outstanding research and have obtained a PhD within the last three years or be close to completing it. Candidates should have at most 3 years of postdoctoral experience when taking up the position. Applicants must be able to communicate technical material, build internal and external contacts, and manage their own research and administration. Two academic referees are required, including email addresses, and references must be received before 14 December 2026.

How to apply

Apply online via the Cambridge jobs page and submit the requested documents through the application portal. Upload a full CV, a publication list with up to four strongest papers or preprints highlighted, and a description of recent and planned research of no more than three pages. Provide contact details for two academic referees and ensure they are aware references must be uploaded before 14 December 2026.
