A core part of our mission is to develop the next generation of mathematicians working at the interface of applied mathematics and machine learning. Our Visiting Fellows Scheme enables early career researchers to engage in focused collaboration with our nationally distinctive research group, contributing to the advancement of next-generation mathematics and AI for real-world systems.
Our Visiting Fellows Scheme is available annually to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers for funded visiting fellowships hosted in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Â鶹ֱ²¥.
Successful candidates will collaborate with MARS staff on either mathematical machine learning and AI methods, or applied mathematics, with a focus on solving real-world problems.
Examples of relevant research areas include epidemiology; generative machine learning; mathematical biology and/or medicine; mathematics of optimisation; multi-scalar modelling of materials; probabilistic machine learning; and quantum modelling.

We are no longer taking applications for 2026-27 but will reopen the scheme for 2027-28 next year so watch this space!
We aim to award three fellowships lasting four weeks each. Fellowships can be taken up between 1st October and 31st July each year. Permissible travel and accommodation expenses will be reimbursed up to £4,000.
You will have a strong academic track record in mathematics or a related subject and hold a PhD or postdoctoral position at a recognised Higher Education Institution.
You can be from the UK or overseas.
Overseas applicants requiring a visa will need to make their own visa arrangements.
