There are two positions available, Lecturer and Senior Lecturer/Reader. See the forwarded mail below. For those not familiar with British academic terminology, these are all tenured jobs. Lecturer is the basic position (e.g. that's what I am). Senior Lecturer and Reader are more senior. Professors are relative rarities; it's perfectly normal to finish one's career as a SL or Reader, without ever becoming a Professor. I should point out that this huge wave of hiring has not been brought about by mass desertion. It's mainly for demographic reasons (lots of people retiring), and in this case because of a couple of people moving from teaching to pure research roles. The blurb says that "preference may be given to" those with an interest in analysis, geometry or topology. However, (a) in the past we've tended to be quite open-minded about appointing people outside our specifically targetted areas, and (b) for certain reasons, I think that now could be quite a favourable time for a category theorist to apply. If you want any further informal information, feel free to get in touch.
