Vacancies: INI Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) invites applications for up to six 12-month INI Postdoctoral Fellowships in Mathematics. This scheme has been established to enable early career researchers in the mathematical sciences to gain experience, independence and new connections, and hence create a foundation for a successful academic career.

The Isaac Newton Institute

“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”

The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.

INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.

During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
