Postdoctoral Fellow – Mathematics & Statistics
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to 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 data science.
About the Role
* Level A – $113,000 – $121,000 plus 17% superannuation and annual leave loading
* Fixed term – 2 years (possible 12‑month extension based on performance and funding)
* Full‑time (35 hours per week)
* Reports to Prof. Gary Froyland; no direct reports
Responsibilities
* Develop theory that significantly advances the field of dynamical systems using techniques from functional analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, differential geometry, data science, and/or machine learning.
* Implement efficient algorithms to analyse dynamical systems arising from idealised models or data.
* Publish collaborative work in leading international mathematical and scientific journals.
* Provide comprehensive analysis and reports for the research project in a timely and effective manner.
* Coordinate research activities and help shape the future direction of the project.
* Assist in supervising and mentoring PhD students, contributing to the development of future academics.
* Present research findings at conferences and other venues.
* Adhere to the Code of Conduct, values, and all health and safety policies of UNSW.
Qualifications
* PhD in Mathematics or a closely related discipline (or close to completion), preferably in dynamical systems.
* Excellent oral and written communication skills.
* Outstanding track record of research publications.
* High‑level analytical and problem‑solving skills.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team with minimal supervision.
* Demonstrated capacity to deliver high‑quality project outcomes on schedule.
* Experience in computer programming (preferably Julia and/or MATLAB).
* Commitment to UNSW’s aims, objectives and values, with knowledge of relevant policies and guidelines.
* Understanding of health and safety responsibilities.
