Lecturer in Mathematics and AI

at  Lancaster University

Presentations and interviews will take place across the 2nd and 3rd of December.
The School of Mathematical Sciences at Lancaster University is seeking to appoint two Lecturers to join ‘MARS: Mathematics for AI in Real-world Systems’. MARS, which is funded by a £12m investment from Research England, will conduct research and teaching at the interface of dynamical mathematical modelling and artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on using applied mathematics to address real-world challenges.
You should hold a PhD and be able to demonstrate an outstanding research track record in the mathematics of AI and/or applied mathematics of real-world challenges. Ideally, you will have an application focus in at least one of the following MARS key application areas: cyber security, engineering, environment and health.
You will be able to independently carry out mathematics research and will show clear evidence of beginning to develop a strong track record of excellence in research, teaching and external engagement. You will be able to demonstrate promise for publishing in internationally leading Mathematical Sciences journals, and have creative ideas for obtaining external research funding. You will have an enthusiastic approach to developing scholarship within MARS and the wider School of Mathematical Sciences, and will be willing to contribute to creating a positive, inclusive and collaborative research culture.
You will show evidence of a commitment to translating foundational mathematical discoveries into real-world solutions through partnerships outside the academic sector, and the ability to contribute to the instigation of new collaborations with researchers in other disciplines and with non-academic organisations. You will be able to contribute to the development and delivery of a range of mathematics courses and will be passionate about fostering the next generation of mathematicians through your supervision of Undergraduate, Masters and PhD students, and Post-Doctoral Researchers.
These are full-time, indefinite posts and flexible working arrangements will be considered.
Informal enquiries should be made to the Head of MARS, Professor Chris Jewell c.jewell@lancaster.ac.uk or the Director of Research, Professor Rebecca Killick r.killick@lancaster.ac.uk.
Lancaster University promotes equality of opportunity and diversity within the workplace and we welcome applications from all diversity groups.
