Situated on the OU Campus in Milton Keynes, the School of Mathematics
and Statistics provides a friendly and flexible working environment
for all of its staff and students, and holds a Bronze Athena SWAN
award. We particularly welcome applications from women: the School
ensures that every female PhD student is allocated a female member of
staff as a point of contact, and organises networking events for
female academic staff and PhD students.

Overseas applicants are welcomed but those from a non-majority
English-speaking country must hold a Secure English Language
Certificate (SELT) at CEFR level B2 or higher at the time of applying.
