Visiting Fellowship in History of Mathematics at St Andrews (closing date 
is 15 June. noon, British Summer Time)

The School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews 
invites applications to its new Non-Stipendiary Visiting Fellowship scheme 
for the academic year 2018-19. The fellowship is open to all interested 
researchers, whether or not affiliated to a university. Junior and senior 
applicants are equally welcome, though applicants must hold a PhD.

The Visiting Fellowship provides an opportunity for applicants external to 
the University of St Andrews to participate in the research life of the 
History of Mathematics Group within the School, and to research a topic in 
the University Library?s Special Collections. St Andrews hosts the 
well-known MacTutor Archive, a biographical database of mathematicians 
with nearly 3000 entries (http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/ ) . The 
University Library?s unique Special Collections contain an outstanding 
collection of books, archives and photography, accumulated throughout the 
six hundred years since the University?s foundation. They are especially 
rich in the History of Mathematics 
(https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/library/specialcollections/ ).

The Fellow will be expected to:

Collaborate with staff from Mathematics and Statistics on at least one 
research output

Contribute to MacTutor

In addition, the Fellow should be willing to deliver one or more seminars 
to our staff, the student mathematical society, or the general public.

They may, optionally, also choose to interact with other Schools in the 
University (e.g. Philosophy, History, Museum Studies), but should keep the 
primary focus of their activities in Mathematics & Statistics.

The Fellowship will be for a period of two to three months, at least two 
of which should be during the St Andrews teaching semester (roughly 
mid-September to end November, or end January to end April). This will 
maximize the opportunities for interaction with staff and students.

The Fellow will receive:

financial support up to a maximum of £1500 per month towards travel, 
accommodation and subsistence costs;

the opportunity to draw on the Special Collections of the University of St 
Andrews Library for research;

office space in the Mathematical Institute;

full library and information systems access.

To apply, please email mathshos@st-andrews.ac.uk:

a CV, including full publication list;

a description of the research project that you would pursue during the 
fellowship period (1000 words max);

your preferred start and end dates;

Please also arrange for an academic letter of reference to be sent to 
mathshos@st-andrews.ac.uk.

Applications, including letters of reference, should be received by noon 
British Summer Time on 15th June. We expect to inform the successful 
applicant by Friday 29th June.

University of St Andrews is at https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/maths/ and
