---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 22:06:40 -0000 From: "Grigoriev, Dr P." pg82@leicester.ac.uk Subject: lectureship in math.finance or math.biology

2 lectureships are opened at the University of Leicester.

One position in Financial Mathematics or Mathematical Biology and another in Pure Mathematics

These "new blood lecturer" positions assume reduced level of teaching for the first four years (no teaching in the first year). More information about the new blood scheme and the application procedures can be found at

http://www.le.ac.uk/newblood/mathematics.html

Salary will be on the Lecturer grade 8 scale (from August 2007 £32,796 to £40,335 and exceptionally to £45,397). The expected starting date is September 1 2007.

Closing date for applications is March 20th 2007. Interviews are expected in April. The expected starting date is 1st September 2007.

-------------------

The Department of Mathematics has two New Blood positions, one in Pure Mathematics and one in Applied Mathematics. New Blood appointments carry reduced teaching and administrative loads and start up funding. In addition to these positions there is the possibility of two further appointments, one in Pure Mathematics and one in Applied Mathematics.

Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics at Leicester has an international reputation for computational modelling and algorithm development and in applied dynamics, from molecular dynamics to modelling of complex materials, chemical and physical kinetics, stochastic models with physical and financial applications, biological mathematics and approximation theory.

The Applied Maths group has a growing interest in the areas of mathematical biology and financial and actuarial mathematics, and is seeking to appoint excellent scholars in these areas.

The Applied Mathematics Group achieved a grade 5 in the last Research Assessment Exercise. It works within a nexus of strong research groups at the University of Leicester, gathered together at the University's Centre for Mathematical Modelling (MMC). The MMC supports a number of interdisciplinary research projects linking mathematics with groups in physics, engineering and other sciences. National and international seminars and workshops are regularly run by the Group, many of these linking to other areas of the sciences. The MMC operates a 160 Opteron CPU computer cluster. The Group has a strong track record of developing excellent young applied mathematicians. The Group is currently developing stronger research links with the grade 5 departments of Physics and Astronomy, Engineering, Biology, and Economics, and the grade 5* Department of Genetics.

Pure Mathematics

Leicester has a strong, established research group in Pure Mathematics covering a range of algebraic, topological and geometric topics, and with a particular emphasis on the relationships between these areas and other parts of mathematics. The group currently has, or has recently enjoyed, funding for specific projects from many sources including the EU, EPSRC, Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield Foundation, British Council, Royal Society and the LMS, and is frequently host or organiser of international meetings and workshops.

In response to its grade 5 RAE success in 2001, the group has continued to grow with recent and forthcoming appointments.

Closing date for applications is March 20th 2007. Salary will be on the Lecturer grade 8 scale (from August 2007 £32,796 to £40,335 and exceptionally to £45,397). The expected starting date is September 1 2007.
