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.
We’re looking for applicants with a PhD in mathematics, or a related discipline, who can demonstrate previous research experience in using mathematical Machine Learning and AI methods, or applied mathematics, to solve challenging problems.
Applicants will be able to propose an innovative and deliverable three-year research project that contains substantial mathematical content and aligns with MARS research goals. The project will also have potential for real-world application in areas including, but not limited to, cyber security, engineering, environment and health.
These are full-time, three-year positions.
Closing date: 24th August 2025
