Job Description

Tibra Chair in Mathematical Sciences at University of Wollongong

Sep 3, 2020

5-year Professorial Research Fellowship (full time)

This prestigious named Professorial Research Fellowship has been created through a major philanthropic gift from the Tibra Foundation to the University of Wollongong. The shared vision of both organisations is to build an internationally recognised hub of excellence in mathematical and statistical sciences at the University.

The Chair will establish and lead a world-leading research program in the area of computational Bayesian statistics and applications. The newly created Chair will also contribute to the Tibra Foundation's mission of promoting the critical role of Maths and Stats in society and participate in the Data and Decision Sciences Network.

The position will be based in the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics (SMAS), and the Professorial Fellow will be a member of UOW's high performing National Institute for Applied Statistics Research Australia (NIASRA)

You will be prompted to respond to a selection criteria questionnaire as part of the application process.

For further information about this position, please contact Senior Professor Aidan Sims (Head of School) on 2 or , or at .

Gender equity in the mathematical sciences is genuinely important to us. We strongly encourage women to apply for this Chair.
