MESME exists to support students from all backgrounds to achieve mathematical excellence, so that they go on to have a greater and richer range of future personal, employment and economic choices. MESME’s target is that by 2035 there will be double the number of PhD students in the mathematical sciences at a UK university. We intend for this increase to include a representative proportion, at the minimum, of students from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds who went to school in the UK. Along the way MESME intends to enrich the mathematical experiences of everyone who participates in our programmes, enabling them to enjoy mathematics and identify as a mathematician. In 2021 we began piloting Maths Circles across the country for secondary school students. Maths Circles aim to develop students’ mathematical thinking and expand their mathematical curiosity. Students grapple with intriguing questions, discover and explore exciting ideas and learn to think like mathematicians. We expect this will be the first of a number of programmes run by MESME.
Thank you very much for considering this role. We hope that you have found all of the information and insight you need in the candidate information pack and we hope to see you soon. If you have any problems with the application process please don’t hesitate to contact the team.
