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.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal"> <span style=""><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000">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.</span></span><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000"></span></p>
