[Job-offers-cs] Postdoctoral Fellow in Dynamical Systems at UNSW Sydney

[Pekka Orponen]

*Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Mathematics and Statistics, UNSW Sydney
*

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, differential geometry, and/or 
data science. Specific topics of focus include, but are not limited to, 
linear response, random and nonautonomous dynamical systems, machine 
learning, data-driven dynamics, 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 Postdoctoral Fellow will be integrated into the ARC Laureate 
Fellow's existing group, along with two other Laureate Postdoctoral 
Fellows, and reports to Laureate Professor Gary Froyland. The role has 
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, differential geometry, data science, 
and/or machine learning.

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.

Co-operate 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.

*About the successful applicant
(Selection Criteria)*

To be successful in this role you will have:

PhD in Mathematics (or closely related discipline) or close to 
completion, preferably in dynamical systems or related disciplines.

Excellent oral and written communication skills.

An outstanding track record of research publications (relative to career 
opportunities).

Demonstrated high-level analytical and problem-solving skills.

Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team with 
minimal supervision.

Demonstrated capacity to deliver high-quality project outcomes in a 
timely manner.
