The School of Mathematics and Statistics currently has more than seventy 
continuing academic staff and approximately 100 academic staff in total, 
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 each of the four ranking bodies: CWTS Leiden, ARWU, USNews, and QS. 
The School's research groups are interconnected, with frequent 
interactions between groups and with other schools and faculties both 
inside and outside UNSW.//

The Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research within a five-year 
Laureate Fellow project funded by the Australian Research Council and 
UNSW Sydney. The project seeks to advance the analysis of dynamical 
systems through the development of novel techniques in functional 
analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, and/or differential geometry. 
Specific topics of focus include, but are not limited to, linear 
response, random and nonautonomous dynamical systems, spectral analysis, 
stability/perturbation theory, and rigorous numerics.

Possible applications of the new theory include the analysis of 
spatiotemporal data arising from weather and climate observations/models 
and from models of social dynamics. Motivating aims include the 
discovery and analysis of hidden large-scale patterns in data/models, 
elucidating mechanisms underlying the emergence of these large-scale 
phenomena and their response to perturbations and devising reliable 
schemes for predicting this emergence and quantifying their response.


The Laureate Fellow project will consist of three Postdoctoral Fellow 
positions. Two of the positions will have primarily theoretical 
responsibilities, and at least one position will have responsibilities 
that additionally include computational aspects and interactions with 
end-users in climate and/or social dynamics.

*NOTE: THERE ARE x3 ROLES AVAILABLE.
All are located in Sydney, Australia.*

*
*

*About the role*

  * *Level A - $106K - $113K*plus 17% Superannuation and annual leave
    loading
  * Fixed Term – 2 years (with possible extension based on funding and
    performance)
  * Full-time (35 hours per week)

The roles report to Laureate Professor Gary Froyland and have no direct 
reports.

*Specific responsibilities for this role include:*

  * Development of theory that significantly advances the field of
    dynamical systems, using techniques from areas such as functional
    analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, and/or differential
    geometry.
  * Implement algorithms that efficiently analyse dynamical systems
    arising from idealised models or data.
  * Collaborative publications in leading international mathematical and
    scientific journals.
  * Provide comprehensive analysis and reports in relation to the
    research project in a timely and effective manner.
  * Perform small-team research, coordinate research activities, and
    participate in the setting of future research directions of the
    project.
  * Assist with the supervision and mentoring of PhD students to develop
    the next generation of academics (as per the norms of the discipline).
  * Present results of research at conferences and other venues.
  * Align with and actively demonstrate the UNSW Values in Action: Our
    Behaviours and the UNSW Code of Conduct.
  * Cooperate with all health and safety policies and procedures of the
    university and take all reasonable care to ensure that your actions
    or omissions do not impact on the health and safety of yourself or
    others.
