The Oxford Mathematical & Computational Finance Group invites applications from talented researchers  with interests in Stochastic analysis, Mathematical Finance or Data Science for a Hooke Research Fellowship starting September 2025.
These prestigious Fellowships at the Oxford Mathematical Institute are full-time, fixed term up to 36 months starting September 2025 and provide an ideal opportunity for candidates to pursue an independent research programme.

Successful applicants will be free to conduct their own research programme.

To aid the development of their academic profile, Fellows will be required to contribute up to three hours of departmental teaching per week for the 24 weeks of each academic year, averaged over the period of the Fellowship to allow for extended visits elsewhere.

Candidates will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or a related discipline. They must show evidence of independence and the ability to undertake research of the highest academic standard, hold an outstanding record of papers published in major international journals (commensurate with career stage), and have a relevant research plan which would enhance the Mathematical Institute’s research profile.
