NOMURA PROFESSORSHIP OF MATHEMATICAL FINANCE

The electors intend to proceed to an election to a new Professorship of Mathematical Finance for a fixed term of five years with effect from as early a date as may be arranged. This Professorship has been created as a result of generous funding by Nomura International plc, the London-based European subsidiary of The Nomura Securities Co. Ltd, one of the world's largest investment banks.

The University attaches the greatest importance to the election to this Professorship of a person of mathematical distinction who will be able to offer leadership in research, teaching, and academic policy- making. The University's Mathematical Institute currently contains one of the leading groups working on the modelling of financial applications using partial differential equations, as part of its Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (OCIAM). The University welcomes applicants in any area of Mathematical Finance but the primary aim is to elect an outstanding mathematician whose work is relevant to that of the group based in OCIAM. It is expected that the successful applicant will have active research contacts with the financial practitioner community. A non-stipendiary Fellowship at Jesus College is attached to the Professorship.

Applications (ten copies, or one from overseas candidates), naming three persons who have agreed to act as referees on this occasion, should be received not later than 19 April 1999 by the Registrar, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD, from whom further particulars may be obtained. Further particulars may also be accessed on the Web (URL: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/).
