The Warwick Mathematics Institute invites applications for the post of Warwick Zeeman Lecturer (WZL), to start in September 2027. We have two positions available, open to all areas of pure and applied mathematics.

WZLs are temporary appointments for a fixed term of three years. They offer the opportunity to join an excellent mathematics department, with plenty of time to pursue independent research while gaining the experience in lecturing and administration that will strengthen any future application for a permanent academic position.

All applicants should hold a PhD and have already demonstrated excellence in research and an ability to teach effectively.

We are seeking applicants who can make a strong contribution to both our research and our teaching, and who will make the most of the opportunities provided by our lively and vibrant departmental culture.

In the past, many WZLs have extended the term of their appointment by combining this post with a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship and this gives a good indication of the kind of career stage and level of independence we expect for this position.

For details on the experience and skills required, please refer to the job description attached as a PDF below.

The Warwick Mathematics Institute is internationally recognised for its research and our best undergraduates are a match for those at any other UK university. We are one of only five UK mathematics departments in the world top 30
* and we are the 5th highest UK mathematics department in the Complete University Guide**. We run a wide range of weekly seminar series, and many workshops and conferences, for which our Mathematics Research Centre provides organisational support.

A list of our staff and their research interests can be found at
and you can see our undergraduate module pages at

The department encourages the career advancement and promotion of all its staff. All Zeeman Lecturers have a mentor and a more formal, supportive, annual review of their progress.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, and we actively encourage applications from groups that are under-represented in UK mathematics. We are working hard towards improving our gender balance: we currently hold a Bronze Athena Swan award and our energetic Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion committee plays a significant role in shaping departmental policy.

We are an internationally diverse department. For those eligible, the University offers relocation and Immigration Support Scheme packages to assist with costs of relocating and any associated visa applications and HIS (health) surcharge fees.
