Job opportunity at Sydney

[Bill Gibson]

We are currently advertising to fill a lectureship in the School of Mathematics and
Statistics at the University of Sydney, in Australia.   I am a member of a small
group of researchers, which includes an experimental neurobiologist, which is
working on biological applications of neural networks, with a particular interest
in the hippocampus.   The School is keen to expand further into the general area of
mathematical biology, and this is an opportunity for someone with these interests
to obtain a tenurable position.   The text of the advertisement follows - I
will be happy to provide further information on request.

School of Mathematics and Statistics

The School has active research groups in pure mathematics (algebra,
algebraic geometry, analysis, category theory, group theory), applied
mathematics (mathematical modelling in various areas of biology, finance,
earth sciences and solar astrophysics) and mathematical statistics
(probability, theoretical and applied statistics, neurobiological
modelling).   Courses in mathematics are given at all undergraduate and
postgraduate levels and include computer-based courses.  Both research and
teaching are supported by a large network of Apollo workstations,
including several high performance processors and colour graphics systems.

The appointee will have a strong research record in a field related to
nonlinear systems and be prepared to teach courses at all levels,
including computer-based courses.   Research areas such as mathematical
biology, neural networks, nonlinear waves and chaos are of particular
interest.   Appointments to lectureships have the potential to lead to
tenure and are usually probationary for three years.
