Heilbronn Research Fellowships in Pure Mathematics, Data Science and Quantum Computing

Are you interested in using your skills in pure mathematics, data science or quantum information as part of a team working on exciting real-world mathematical problems that help to keep the UK safe?

Our3 year Heilbronn Postdoctoral Research Fellowshipsprovide the opportunity to continue your own personal research alongside working on varied and fascinating classified research projects, collaborating with colleagues in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts an emphasis on teamwork. Research areas of interest include, but are not restricted to, Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Combinatorics, Data Science, Number Theory, Probability, and Quantum Information. Fellows have previously been appointed with backgrounds in most areas of Pure Mathematics, Data Science and Statistics, Quantum Information and Mathematical/Theoretical Physics. You will also be offered training and development opportunities that fit your career ambitions, research needs and personal development requirements.

Starting salary: £45,232-£50,474depending on previous experience, with the London weighting where appropriate. In addition, a fund of £2.5K pa to pay for research expenses will be available to each Fellow. Our Fellowships are3 years fixed termwith a preferred start date of 1 October 2025. Heilbronn Fellows divide their time equally between their own research and the classified research programme of the Heilbronn Institute.

Equal Opportunities– Diversity and inclusion are critical to the vision and mission of the Heilbronn Institute. We seek a truly diverse workforce which includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are currently under-represented in mathematics.

Due to the nature of the Institute’s work, Fellows must be willing to apply for a national security clearance at an appropriate level. UK resident UK nationals will normally be able to meet this condition: other potential applicants are welcome to contact the Heilbronn Manager at to discuss eligibility.

Applications will be made throughmathjobs.org. Applicants will need to submit a cover letter, indicating the institutions where they prefer to hold their Fellowship from the above list of partner universities. In addition, we require a CV and a one-page statement of proposed research. Applicants must arrange for three letters of reference to be uploaded to the mathjobs.org website, prior to the closing date.

Some of our Fellowships are funded through the UKRI/EPSRC “Additional Funding for Mathematical Sciences Programme”.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.
