[Job-offers-cs] Assistant Professor in Combinatorics at the University of Birmingham

[Pekka Orponen]

The University of Birmingham seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor in 
Combinatorics to assist with the delivery of our strategic goals in this 
area. The successful candidate will be expected to make significant 
contribution to these programmes, by conducting high-quality research in 
related areas and developing and delivering undergraduate and 
postgraduate education in Combinatorics. In addition, the successful 
candidate will also be expected to contribute to the school through 
management/leadership, and enterprise activities, as appropriate.

The School consists of over 70 research active academic staff, around 20 
postdoctoral researchers and around 50 postgraduates, with research 
groups in Algebra, Analysis, Combinatorics, Probability and Algorithms, 
Continuum Mechanics and Nonlinear Systems, Data Science and 
Computational Statistics, Financial Mathematics, Geometry and 
Mathematical Physics, Mathematical Biology and Healthcare, Mathematics 
Education, Optimization and Numerical Analysis, Topology and Dynamical 
Systems. Information about the School is available at: 
http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/mathematics/index.aspx

The minimum qualification is a PhD (or equivalent) in Mathematics or a 
related area. Candidates are expected to have or clearly be developing 
an internationally recognized research record, and a solid commitment to 
teaching, mentoring and service. Full consideration will be given to 
applicants whose research interests are in the emerging areas of or the 
mathematical underpinning of Combinatorics. We also welcome strong 
teaching-focused applicants, but your teaching interests must be in 
Combinatorics or a related area.

The application deadline is 30th June 2024. Applications can be 
submitted through
