Ivan Smith

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.
