Research Fellow

University of Warwick
Coventry, England, UK

The University of Warwick’s Warwick Mathematics Institute is inviting applications for a fixed-term Research Fellow position funded by an EPSRC grant titled “The modular singularity category.” This two-year postdoctoral role is designed for researchers ready to contribute to high-quality mathematical research while developing their own academic profile. You will be part of an inclusive team, working within one of the UK’s leading mathematics environments, with opportunities for research visits and networking both at home and internationally.

The position offers structured mentoring, access to seminars and workshops, and the chance to collaborate with research groups across disciplines.

Applicants should hold a PhD (or have submitted their thesis) in mathematics with expertise in algebraic/arithmetic geometry, homotopy theory or representation theory, or be near to completing a PhD in a closely related area. A strong record of original research and a capacity for independent and group work is expected.

Candidates should demonstrate in-depth knowledge of relevant mathematical areas, the ability to conduct original research, and strong communication skills to share findings with the academic community. The role is suitable for those with prior research outputs and a genuine interest in advancing theoretical understanding within their field.

The salary range for this Research Fellow position is approximately £35,608 to £46,049 per annum, with potential appointment at a Research Assistant level if the PhD is not yet conferred.

Applications must be submitted by Thursday 5 March 2026 at 23:55 UK time.
