chapman, sydneySydney Chapman FRS (29 January 1888 – 16 June 1970) was a British mathematician and geophysicist. His work on the kinetic theory of gases, solar-terrestrial physics, and the Earth's ozone layer has inspired a broad range of research over many decades. He was Chief Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College London between 1924 and 1946.

Chapman Fellowships in the Department of Mathematics are two year appointments, starting October every year. These posts provide an excellent opportunity for those seeking to pursue an academic career in mathematics. Candidates for a Chapman Fellowship are expected to have proven research ability in mathematics. Candidates will demonstrate the potential for strong leadership qualities in the subject, as illustrated, for example, through showing initiative and independence on research projects.

As well as holding a good honours degree and a PhD in mathematics or a closely related subject, Chapman Fellows will also be expected to demonstrate exceptional ability in their chosen research areas. They will have an outstanding research record commensurate with their level of experience, as demonstrated, for example, through an outstanding thesis, publications and conference presentations. In addition to pursuing research, Fellows will be expected to undertake some teaching duties in the Department of Mathematics. The ability to teach mathematics at undergraduate and postgraduate level is essential, as demonstrated by excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to give effective presentations.

Application process takes place every year starting approx. in September for around 2 months.  Please view vacancies website.
