Dear All,
I got the following through the algebraic topology mailing list. Maybe some EWM-members want to apply? If you have questions, please send them to Michael Weiss. I am not in Aberdeen.
Best Wishes
JOBS IN ABERDEEN
The College of Physical sciences at the University of Aberdeen has now formally advertised the recruitment drive I wrote to the list about a few weeks ago. An advertisement had been placed with the Times Higher Education Supplement (http://www.thesjobs.co.uk/rs6/cl.asp?action=view_ad&ad_id=41457), and a related initiative now appears on the University website on behalf of the College of Physical Sciences http://www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs/newblood.shtml.
This initiative is quite unique in its nature. Applications are invited without a specified closing date. The competition is open across all science disciplines, but we hope to be able to make several appointments in mathematics under this scheme. Appointment can be made at all levels from lecturer to professor. The scheme includes a reduced teaching load for the first 5 years. Currently normal teaching load in the department is two courses per year on average.
Mathematicians who are interested in applying for a position in Aberdeen are asked to send a covering letter and their CV to Human Resources, King’s College, Aberdeen AB24 3FX or by email:
humanresources@abdn.ac.uk. Please specify in your letter that you are applying in response to the “College of Physical Sciences ‘New Blood’
Lectureship” advert. At the same time applicants are encouraged to email their CV to Michael Weiss at m.weiss@maths.abdn.ac.uk, along with a covering letter expressing their interest in a position. Please include the names of three mathematicians who have agreed to write a letter of recommendation on your behalf. You do not need to ask your referees to send their letter to us at this stage.
We emphasize that appointments may be made at all levels, not only at the Lectureship level.
Review of applications by the department will start immediately with the first interviews expected as early as January. We will be happy to answer any informal questions people may have.
Best wishes,
Michael Weiss
Head of Mathematical Sciences
