Job no: 542195 Work type: Full Time Location: Sydney, NSW, Australia

The School of Mathematics and Statistics currently has more than ninety continuing academic staff and more than thirty research staff as well as visiting academics. UNSW is the only university in Australia to be ranked in the top 100 in the world in mathematics and statistics by CWTS Leiden, US News and QS. The School embodies a broad range of research interests in the areas of applied and pure mathematics, and statistics.

The School has particular research strengths in Algebra, Analysis, Bayesian and Monte Carlo Methods, Biomathematics, Biostatistics and Ecology, Combinatorics, Computational Mathematics, Data Science, Dynamical Systems and Integrability, Finance and Risk Analysis, Fluid Dynamics and Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Fractional Calculus, Geometry, Mathematical Modelling, Mathematical Physics, Number Theory, Nonparametric Statistics, Optimisation, Quantum Mathematics, Stochastic Analysis, and Stochastic Modelling. The School's research groups are interconnected, with frequent interactions between groups and with other schools and faculties both within and outside UNSW.

The purpose of this role is to conduct independent research and deliver excellent teaching in the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The Lecturer (Level B) / Senior Lecturer (level C) is expected to carry out activities to develop their scholarly research in areas that align with the research strengths in the School and professional activities both nationally and internationally and to actively contribute to the School’s teaching activities across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The School seeks to make appointments in the growing area of operator-theoretic methods for dynamical systems, which covers a broad spectrum from theory to applications, in connection with the establishment of a world-class research cluster led by Scientia Professor Gary Froyland. The focus of the theoretical end of this spectrum is on fundamental research in relevant fields, which may link to areas of pure mathematics, while the applied end is concerned with the development and implementation of operator-theoretic methods in dynamic data analysis. The School aims to appoint two academics to span this spectrum.

NOTE: THERE ARE 2 ROLES AVAILABLE.

THESE ROLES ARE LOCATED IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.
