The School of Mathematics and Physics hosts several research centres and is an active partner in a number of multidisciplinary research groups both within and external to the University. Our staff are recognised internationally for their active and dynamic research programs across a wide range of areas in mathematics.

The University of Queensland is one of the top three universities in Australia, measured by the quality of its comprehensive range of research fields. In addition to providing excellent potential for interdisciplinary research, the University is located in the vibrant riverfront city of Brisbane, whose sub-tropical climate, cultural diversity, and proximity to coastal regions make it an attractive environment in which to live.

About This Opportunity

The successful appointee will be expected to:

• teach undergraduate and postgraduate mathematics courses;
• engage in curriculum development;
• supervise postgraduate and honours students;
• conduct high-quality research;
• perform administrative, outreach and other activities associated with the School.

This position is located at our picturesque St Lucia campus (https://campuses.uq.edu.au/st-lucia), renowned as one of Australia’s most attractive university campuses, and located just 7km from Brisbane’s city centre.
