Lecturer in Applied Mathematics

About the vacancy:
The School of Computing and Creative Technologies is a rapidly expanding School offering high quality undergraduate and postgraduate programmes which include Mathematics, Data Science, Business Computing and Financial Technology.

We also support a growing and successful body of research in mathematics, applied statistics and data science. The School has about 130 academic staff and over 2,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students.

About you:
Candidates will have either a PhD in Mathematics or a closely related discipline, or else relevant professional experience.

Expertise in at least several of the following is essential:

mathematical modelling; ordinary and partial differential equations; numerical methods and analysis; programming (MATLAB, Python); applications of mathematics in the physical sciences. 

The successful candidate will be expected to apply their knowledge to adapt their teaching style to provide a supportive and inclusive learning experience for our students on mathematics, engineering and computing programmes.

You will be capable of high-quality research in a field of applied mathematics leading to journal and conference publications. A core strength of mathematics at UWE is the modelling and analysis of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations in various contexts. In particular the school is interested in developing research links between applied mathematics and data science (e.g. data-driven methods in applications of ordinary and partial differential equations). Awareness of research funding opportunities and a successful track record of research collaboration is essential.

This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed.
