Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (Level B/C)
Reference number A412-09
Position Overview
We are seeking to appoint one or more mathematical scientists to Level B and or Level C to continuing positions in the Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI). Applicants with research interests in areas of application of mathematics of relevance to MSI and who are interested in a joint appointment with another discipline group, are strongly encouraged to apply. For suitably qualified applicants of exceptional research performance the possibility of an initial joint research position in the Centre for Mathematics and its Applications (CMA) at Level C will be considered.We may consider making additional appointments should we have suitably strong applicants in the areas of (i) modern algebra and algebraic geometry or (ii) probability, theoretical statistics or stochastic modelling research programs of the Mathematical Sciences Institute. The successful applicant(s) will have a demonstrated capacity (relative to opportunity) to build collaborative research links with researchers in other areas of the mathematical sciences and/or with researchers in other disciplines.The successful applicant(s) will also have excellent teaching and communication skills and be able to contribute actively to the development of mathematical sciences and its linkages with other areas and to the promotion of mathematical sciences within the ANU and the broader community. For further information about MSI please see our website
