The School of Mathematical Sciences at Lancaster University is seeking to appoint Senior Research Associates to lead their own research project as part of 'MARS: Mathematics for AI in Real-world Systems'. MARS, which is funded by a £13m investment from Research England, conducts research and teaching at the interface of dynamical mathematical modelling and artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on using applied mathematics and AI methods to address real-world challenges. What we're looking for You will hold a PhD in mathematics or a related discipline and be able to demonstrate previous research experience in using mathematical machine learning and AI methods, or applied mathematics, to solve challenging problems. Your research will have potential for real-world application in areas including, but not limited to, cyber security, engineering, environment and health. You will be able to propose an innovative and deliverable three-year research project that contains substantial mathematical content and aligns with MARS research goals. You may also be asked to contribute up to 0.2 FTE to industry projects relevant to your expertise. Why join MARS? It is an exciting time to be part of MARS, which is based in one of the top-ranked maths departments in the UK. You'll be part of a thriving and collegiate research group with a growing complement of academic staff, researchers and PhD students. MARS is at the forefront of innovating mathematics and AI research and is a nationally distinctive group to join if you want to be part of the next generation of mathematicians tackling real-world problems and shaping the future of mathematics and AI. These are full-time, three-year positions. Flexible working arrangements will be considered but you will be expected to be present on the Lancaster campus a minimum of two days a week. Closing date: 4th January 2026 For further information and details of how to apply, please visit: For further details about MARS, please visit:

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Stochastic Analysis We are currently inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Professor Massimiliano Gubinelli at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a 30 month, fixed-term position, funded by a Simons Foundation research grant. The successful candidate will be expected to take up this post as soon as possible, with a latest start date of1st October 2026. We are also advertising a similar Postdoctoral Research Associate in Stochastic Analysis post which can be found at: using vacancy ID: 183243. Candidates who wish to be considered for both positions will need to apply for both posts. The successful candidate will be part of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research in Stochastic Analysis in relation with construction of models of Euclidean quantum field theories and related problems, funded by the Simons Foundation grant titled 'Simons Collaboration on Probabilistic Paths to Quantum Field Theory'. They will be expected to conduct research which falls within the remit of this large-scale project and will have the opportunity to do so in several ways including independently, collaboratively with other members of the group at Oxford and/or with other mathematicians internationally. They are expected to provide informal mentorship of D. Phil students in the group. We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award. Please direct informal enquiries to the Recruitment Coordinator (email: ), quoting vacancy reference 183240. Please note: Applicants are responsible for contacting two referees to send their reference letters directly to by the closing date. Full details are contained in the job description.
