Department
of Applied Mathematics Mathematics
Prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowships
Applications
are invited for a limited number of distinguished postdoctoral fellowships to
be held in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo,
awarded by the Faculty of Mathematics. The fellowships have an anticipated
start date of September 1, 2024 (or earlier).
These positions are prestigious, two-year, research-focused fellowships
with a salary of $75,000/annum and an associated research grant of
$15,000/annum. The department has 30 regular faculty members, and has
leading research programs in Scientific Computing Methods, Mathematical &
Quantum Physics, Environmental & Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Control &
Dynamical Systems, and Mathematical Medicine & Biology. Candidates should indicate in their cover
letter the names of faculty member(s) in the Department of Applied Mathematics they
propose to work with.
In
addition to engaging in research collaboration with a faculty member or members
in the department, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to gain
teaching experience (if desired). These are highly selective fellowships
(adjudicated by a Faculty-wide selection committee for tenure in any of the
five academic units of the Mathematics Faculty) and will be based on the
candidate's outstanding research potential and fit with a supervisor in the
department. All interested recent, outstanding PhDs are encouraged to apply.
The
Department of Applied Mathematics is one of four departments that, together
with the School of Computer Science, comprise the Faculty of Mathematics at the
University of Waterloo. With 300 faculty members, 8,000 undergraduate students
and more than 1,000 graduate students in mathematics and computer science,
Waterloo’s Faculty of Mathematics is a global powerhouse in research, education
and innovation. Research in the department is enhanced by interdisciplinary and
industrial collaborations and links to interdisciplinary institutes including
the Waterloo Artificial Intelligence Institute, the Centre for Computational
Mathematics, the Waterloo Climate Institute, the Water Institute, the Perimeter
Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the Institute for Quantum Computing. The department has a substantial graduate program with over 100
graduate students and strong undergraduate programs in applied mathematics,
scientific computing and mathematical physics. More information about the
department can be found at https://uwaterloo.ca/applied-mathematics/.
Applications
for these fellowships are through the website MathJobs.org. Candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum
vitae and a one-page research statement to www.MathJobs.org. Applicants
should also arrange for three letters of recommendation, to be submitted
through the www.MathJobs.org
website.
The
application deadline is December 15, 2023.
We
appreciate all replies to this advertisement, but only applicants under
consideration will be contacted.
The University of Waterloo understands the impact that career
interruptions (e.g. parental leave, leave due to illness) can have on a
candidate’s achievement and encourages potential candidates to explain in their
application the impact this may have on their record; this information will be
taken into careful consideration during the assessment process.
The University values the diverse and intersectional identities of
its students, faculty, and staff. The University regards equity and
diversity as an integral part of academic excellence and is committed to
accessibility for all employees. The University of Waterloo seeks applicants
who embrace our values of equity, anti-racism and inclusion. As such, we encourage applications from
candidates who have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including
applicants who identify as Indigenous peoples (e.g., First Nations, Métis,
Inuit/Inuk), Black, racialized, a person with a disability, women and/or
2SLGBTQ+.
The University of Waterloo is committed to
accessibility for persons with disabilities. If you have
any application, interview or workplace accommodation requests,
please contact Alicia Hanbidge (ahanbidge@uwaterloo.ca). The University of Waterloo acknowledges that
much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral,
Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the
Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on
each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place
across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community
building, and is centralized within our Indigenous
Initiatives Office (https://uwaterloo.ca/human-rights-equity-inclusion/indigenousinitiatives). |
