Vacancy details

Job description

The School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University is recruiting 3-4 research leaders per year. If you are a top quality researcher, already established or soon to be a leader in your field, the opportunity exists to join our School as a Professor/Reader/Lecturer in one of our three Departments: 

Browse the School and Department pages to see what we do. You may already be well-acquainted with the exciting research that goes on here, and our world-leading profiles in many areas. Your research may be closely aligned with that of an established thread of research here, or it may not be. Either way, if you can demonstrate exceptional quality and potential, and can see your research developing here, then we want to hear from you.

How to apply / closing dates

If you are interested, please submit a short CV in the first instance to Professor David Corne d.w.corne@hw.ac.uk (MACS Director of Research).

This opportunity will keep rolling as we recruit up to 4 new academics per year, but we want to hear from you sooner rather than later, and meet at the end of each quarter to consider the current set of applicants. Do feel free to make informal contact with our Heads of Department, Head of School, or Director of Research, before you apply as indicated above.
