The University of Oxford is an equal opportunities employer.
Departmental Lecturer in Mathematical Finance (reference BK/08/005)
The Mathematical Institute proposes to appoint a Departmental Lecturer in Mathematical Finance starting from 1 September 2008 or earlier by mutual agreement. The Lecturer will contribute to the teaching and administration associated with both the full-time M.Sc. in Mathematical and Computational Finance and the part-time M.Sc./Diploma course in Mathematical Finance which is run jointly with the Department for Continuing Education and is intended for finance professionals from a mathematical background. The Lecturer will also be expected to contribute to the work of the Mathematical and Computational Finance research group.
Departmental Lecturer in the History of Mathematics (reference BK/08/007)
The Mathematical Institute proposes to appoint a Departmental Lecturer in the History of Mathematics starting from 1 September 2008 or earlier by mutual agreement for three years in the first instance. The Lecturer will contribute to the teaching and administration associated with the teaching of the History of Mathematics and will be expected to have an outstanding research record in that area.
The salary for both Lectureships will be in the range of £26,666 to £32,796 a year (with a discretionary range to £35,837).
Further particulars are available from the Administrative Assistant (Vacancies), Mathematical Institute, 24-29 St Giles', Oxford, OX1 3LB (e-mail vacancies@maths.ox.ac.uk) and at http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/notices/vacancies/.
Applicants should submit a letter of application setting out how they meet the selection criteria, supported by a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, details of teaching experience, a statement of research interests, and the names and contact details of two referees. Applications should be sent to the Administrative Assistant at the above address to arrive no later than 17 March 2008. Applicants must arrange for references to be sent to the Administrative Assistant by the closing date.
Applications are invited for the position of Research Liaison Officer. This is a newly created post funded for an initial period of up to five years starting on 1 May 2008 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The remit of the position is to support interdisciplinary research collaborations involving a significant mathematical and/or statistical content and to undertake research in the mathematical sciences. The post-holder will promote and support such interdisciplinary research collaborations from initial contact through to applications for funding. Collaborations will be targeted both within Oxford's Mathematical Physical and Life Sciences Division (MPLS) and externally, with other Oxford Departments and with industry, making this an outward rather than an inward looking role. The post-holder will also reinforce connections with industry in the context of Master's courses in the new Knowledge Transfer Account (KTA) framework. Working co-operatively with peers and senior colleagues, the post-holder will be involved in developing strategic objectives and implementing the plans to realize those objectives.
The post-holder will be part of the Research Facilitation team based in the Mathematical Institute and report on a day-to-day basis to the Institute's Research Facilitator (currently Dr Chris Breward).
The successful candidate should have a record of undertaking independent research in mathematics or statistics at an advanced level and knowledge of funding sources for such research. Excellent organization, team working, and written and oral communication skills are essential together with the ability to deliver training events, build networks, and promote interaction. Experience of scientific applications in an industrial context would be an advantage. The starting salary will be in the range £33,779 to £40,355.
Further particulars may be obtained from vacancies@maths.ox.ac.uk and at http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/notices/vacancies/.
