The School of Mathematics & Physics at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking to appoint an exceptional Applied Mathematician to the post of Lecturer in Data Analysis.
This School hosts the Mathematical Sciences Research Centre (MSRC), a large hub for the pursuit of Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research whose members address challenges spanning a widespread range of topics. The School is thus perfectly positioned within the Higher Education Sector to train mathematicians, statisticians and data analysts to address the challenges of modern society where mathematical literacy is at the core of challenges ranging from healthcare to climate change. Our research interests and strengths extend all the way to address problems in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, which we address through the rigour of our Mathematical methodology and innovative analytical and computational tools.
The School and MSRC provide a vibrant, stimulating, and collaborative environment with strong partnerships with academia and industry. As the sole provider of University-level education in Mathematical Sciences in Northern Ireland, we have at the core of our mission both the advances of research within the context of our genuinely global-scale research environment, and the training of skilled, competent scientists and teachers to support the growth of the Northern Irish economy and society.
The successful Applied Mathematician will undertake advanced research primarily in Statistics and Data Analytics, develop and support the School’s and MSRC’s research agenda connected to data analysis, and lead interdisciplinary cross-School and cross-Faculty initiatives addressing challenges in Big Data.
The post holder will support our new Undergraduate curriculum in Mathematical Sciences through the delivery of research-led applied mathematics modules that have a strong connection to both academia and industry. They will champion innovation and excellence through their teaching practices, thus contributing to delivering a genuinely world-class student experience. The post holder will also contribute to administration and/or outreach activities, capitalising on the possibilities offered by the intrinsically multidisciplinary nature of their area of research.
