Closes: 12th Jan 2018 Job Ref: 58465 Location: University of Birmingham main campus and at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China In a major strategic initiative, the University of Birmingham in collaboration with Jinan University, Guangzhou, China, has set up a Joint Institute for Teaching and Research, located on Jinan University's southern campus in Guangzhou. The Institute, which took its first undergraduate intake in September 2017, delivers joint degree programmes in mathematics, attracting high quality undergraduate students from across China. These programmes are taught in English at the Joint Institute in Guangzhou, with the mathematics component being delivered by staff from the University of Birmingham. We are looking for outstanding applicants with the ability to develop and deliver high quality modules into these programmes. The successful candidates will be expected to contribute substantially to maintaining and enhancing the School's high standards in both teaching and research (teaching only in the case of teaching focused appointments). The post holders will typically be expected to make two trips to Guangzhou per year, each of one month's duration, to deliver intensive periods of teaching, with perhaps a small number of shorter trips. This is the second round of recruitment to this initiative, which is attracting significant numbers of exceptional new staff to the School of Mathematics in Birmingham. The team currently consists of four members and it will increase to 12 when fully staffed. For this round of recruitment, there are up to four positions available. Excellent candidates working in any area of mathematics or statistics may apply. We are particularly keen to appoint candidates with research and/or teaching experience Mathematical Finance, Optimization, and Statistics, so those working in theoretical or applied statistics, econometrics, computational data analysis, machine learning, computational modelling, stochastic modelling, stochastic optimization, optimization, mathematical finance or related areas are encouraged to apply. Candidates should hold a PhD, or equivalent, in Mathematics or a related subject. They will typically have an excellent research record or have research interests that are likely to generate impact activity. Successful candidates will have a track record of (or demonstrable potential for) superior teaching and learning in Mathematics to a broad range of students. The posts are available at either Lecturer or Senior Lecturer grade depending on the relevant prior experience of the candidate. The appointments panel will consider teaching focused appointments for suitable high quality candidates. The School of Mathematics is a supportive, family friendly environment, committed to equality, diversity and inclusivity. We encourage applications from the widest community and provide equal opportunities in our recruitment processes. In recognition of its commitment to promoting women in science the School holds a Bronze Athena SWAN award. The University of Birmingham is proud to be members of Stonewall and are currently ranked 75th in the Stonewall Top 100 Employers Index 2017. These posts are available from Easter 2018.
