Subject: Posting From: Prof John Hunton Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2007 15:32:20 +0000 My university are advertising a lot of new positions with reduced teaching loads and research funding; one of them will go to Pure Maths. Could you advertise it on the topology list please? Many thanks, Best wishes, John. The University of Leicester are now advertising a second round of "New Blood Lectureships" across a range of subjects, including Pure Mathematics. These positions will go to candidates with high quality research records and the successful candidates will enjoy substantially reduced teaching loads for the first 4 years, guaranteed study leave and start up funding for travel. Details may be found on the website http://www.le.ac.uk/newblood/ including the application form; the closing date is Tuesday 20 March. Brief details of the background to the Pure Mathematics position are reproduced below. For more information, please contact Prof John Hunton (jrh7@mcs.le.ac.uk, telephone ++116 252 5354). It is possible that there will be a further lectureship position in pure mathematics appointed as well. Mathematics (Pure) Leicester has a strong, established research group in Pure Mathematics covering a range of algebraic, topological and geometric topics, and with a particular emphasis on the relationships between these areas and other parts of mathematics. The group is currently or has recently enjoyed funding for specific projects from many sources including the EU, EPSRC, Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield Foundation, British Council, Royal Society and the LMS, and is frequently host or organiser of international meetings and workshops. In response to its grade 5 RAE success in 2001, the group has continued to grow with recent and forthcoming appointments. Candidates for the present New Blood lectureship are encouraged from all areas of Pure Mathematics including those that increase the scope of the existing group, for example, from areas such as algebraic geometry, algebraic K-theory, geometric representation theory, noncommutative or differential geometry, global analysis, geometric topology, dynamics or other subjects which link to the group.
