2022 Mfano Africa-Oxford virtual mentorship programme

We are pleased to confirm arrangements for the exciting second round of our mentorship scheme in collaboration with the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford. This programme aims to support and encourage a small cohort of promising pre-PhD students, based in sub-Saharan Africa, who hope to continue PhD studies within mathematical sciences. The part-time online programme will include an 8-week mini-project, to be undertaken in July/August 2022. The successful students will be matched with a mentor at the University of Oxford-based on mutual research interests, to work on a mini-project during a series of 1:1 online meetings in order to build up research experience. Students will also be directed to useful pre-recorded lectures from recent courses at the Mathematical Institute and offered bespoke career development training and guidance on making PhD applications, plus networking events. A £230 (GBP) stipend will be available to successful students to support any associated costs for internet data, printing and stationery, etc.

If you wish to apply, please apply by 12.00 PM GMT on Wednesday 4 May 2022 - see details of application process on the website: https://sites.google.com/view/mfano-africa/home

Faculty Positions in Mathematics

The School of Basic Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) at EPFL seeks to fill two Faculty positions in Mathematics, one at the Full Professor level, and one at any rank (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor). We seek outstanding candidates with research interests in any field of Pure Mathematics. Candidates with research interests in algebraic structures, and/or geometry/topology, and/or discrete mathematics, are particularly encouraged to apply.

At the tenured (Full or Associate Professor level), we expect world leading profiles in their respective fields. At the Tenure-Track level (Assistant Professor) we expect candidates showing exceptional promise to develop into world leaders. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any particular specialization area.

Candidates should hold a PhD and have an excellent record of scientific accomplishments in the field, commensurate to the rank they are applying to. In addition, commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate, master and doctoral levels is expected.

Proficiency in French teaching is not required, but willingness to learn the language expected.

EPFL, with its main campus located in Lausanne, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva, is a dynamically growing and well-funded institution fostering excellence and diversity. It has a highly international campus with first-class infrastructure, including high performance computing. Mathematics at EPFL especially benefits from the presence of the Bernoulli Centre for Fundamental Studies on the EPFL campus, and boasts a world class faculty.

As a technical university covering essentially the entire palette of engineering and science, EPFL offers a fertile environment for research cooperation between different disciplines. The EPFL environment is multi-lingual and multi-cultural, with English often serving as a common interface.

Applications should include a cover letter, a CV with a list of publications, a concise statement of research (maximum 3 pages) and teaching interests (one page), and the names and addresses (including e-mail) of at least three (for the rank of Assistant Professor) or five (for the rank of Associate or Full Professor) references who have already agreed to supply a letter upon request.
