The School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sheffield, is offering a number of fully funded Graduate Teaching Assistantships, to start in September 2010.
Each post will combine PhD study with teaching experience within the School and Mathematics and Statistics, with an enhanced stipend of £15,000 per annum, rising in line with standard EPSRC stipends. Each Graduate Teaching Assistant will undertake between 6 and 12 hours per week teaching and related duties during term-time, including tutorials, marking and, where appropriate, lecturing. Each post will be for 3.5 years. Applicants must be eligible to pay "home" (essentially UK or EU) fees, rather than "overseas" fees, at the University of Sheffield; the GTA post will cover the full fees.
Research in the School of Mathematics and Statistics covers a wide range of interests, and is mostly organised at departmental level. For an overview of our research and our academic staff, see the research pages for the departments of
Probability and Statistics (http://www.shef.ac.uk/pas/research/),
Pure Mathematics (http://maths.dept.shef.ac.uk/puremaths/group_list.php)
and Applied Mathematics (http://www.shef.ac.uk/appliedmaths/research/).
Informal enquiries may be made to the PhD admissions tutors for Probability and Statistics (Prof Clive Anderson <[log in to unmask]>), Pure Mathematics (Prof John Greenlees <[log in to unmask]>) or Applied Mathematics (Prof Alan Zinober <[log in to unmask]>).
Candidates should apply for admission using the University's standard application procedure; see http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/apply/.
No separate application form is required for the GTA posts, but potential applicants should contact the appropriate admissions tutor (above) directly with a brief expression of interest, mentioning the GTA specifically and including their broad area of research interest no later than 9th April 2010. The School of Mathematics and Statistics reserves the right to award these studentships at any point, once suitable candidates are available.
