Assistant/Associate Professor x2 (37390-0824)

For informal enquiries, please contact Professor James Robinson (Head of Department, Mathematics) at J.C.Robinson@warwick.ac.uk. 

The Warwick Mathematics Institute invites applications for the post of Assistant/Associate Professor, to start in September 2025. We have two positions available, open to all areas of mathematics.

Associate Professorships are permanent appointments and usually for those who already have a well-established track record in research and significant lecturing experience. Those appointed at the Assistant level are supported through a five-year probationary period to enable them to fulfil the criteria for promotion to Associate Professor. The salary ranges are:

Assistant Professor - £45,585 – £54,395

Associate Professor - £56,201 - £64,914

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

We aim to appoint people to these two posts 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.

For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.

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 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 https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/research/researchers

and you can see our undergraduate module pages at

The department encourages the career advancement and promotion of all its staff, supporting promotion from Associate Professor to Reader and subsequently Full Professor in the same way that Assistant Professors are guided through the probationary process.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, and we actively encourage applications from groups that are under-represented in UK mathematics. In particular, 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.

The University of Warwick was founded in 1965, and has grown to be one of the top universities in the UK and a world-leading research-intensive university with the highest academic and research standards. We’re one of the world’s top universities, ranked 67th in the world and 10th in the UK*, with 92% of our research assessed to be ‘world leading or internationally excellent’**. 

You'll be joining a diverse, innovative and globally connected community committed to igniting real world progress. Here at Warwick, we offer you opportunities to follow your ambitions as long as you bring the energy and determination to succeed.
