Math jobs in United Kingdom

The School of Science and Engineering has an international reputation for excellent teaching and research, particularly in addressing global challenges in health care, technology, energy, the environment, forensic science and infrastructure.

Mathematics has research strengths in:

• Mathematical Biology and Computational Biophysics, developing a wide range of mathematical, physical and computational tools and techniques.
• Magnetohydrodynamics and Astrophysics, combining innovative computational and mathematical modelling with state-of-the-art observations to address problems such as the dynamics of magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere.
• Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, developing numerical methods and algorithms that are accurate, efficient and robust with respect to challenges that manifest in the simulation of complex phenomena arising in biological and physical applications.
• Uncertainty quantification, stochastic and predictive modelling, applied probability, data science, scientific machine learning and surrogate modelling with applications including financial mathematics, solar physics, materials science, defence and national security.

We are seeking a Lecturer in Mathematics who will contribute to our dynamic teaching and research environment. The successful candidate will engage in high-quality research that complements our strengths. This role offers the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers across both universities.

You will undertake your teaching in one 20-week semester at DIICSU in Changsha, China. You will benefit from a supportive environment that encourages professional development and offers numerous opportunities for collaboration both within the University and with external partners in both Dundee and Changsha. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a passion for interdisciplinary work.

DIICSU is an exciting partnership between the University of Dundee (UoD) and Central South University (CSU) in China. CSU is a Class A Double First-Class University located in Changsha, Hunan Province.

As this role is based between the UK and China, the role holder must hold the right to work in both countries or be eligible to obtain this. Support with making an application for the relevant work visa(s) will be provided, if necessary.

We are one of the UK's leading universities, internationally recognised for our expertise and research breakthroughs in multiple areas, including science, medicine and engineering, amongst many others. Our purpose is to transform lives, locally and globally, which we do as a community of staff (Professional Services and academic Schools), students and alumni.

For further information about this position, please contact Dr Andrei Pisliakov (Head of Mathematics) at a.pisliakov@dundee.ac.uk or Karen Petrie (Executive Vice Dean, DIICSU) kpetrie@dundee.ac.uk. To find out more about Mathematics at Dundee, please visit https://www.dundee.ac.uk/mathematics.

The diversity of our staff and students helps to make the University of Dundee a UK university of choice for undergraduate, postgraduate and distance learning. Family-friendly policies, staff networks for BME, Disabled, and LGBT staff, membership in the Athena SWAN, ECU Race Equality Charter, and Stonewall, as well as a full range of disability services, create an enjoyable and inclusive work environment.
