About the Centre for Mathematical SciencesCentre for Mathematical Sciences at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering invites applications for a position as Senior Lecturer. The advertised position will be placed at the Division of Applied Mathematics (AM) within the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CMS). The Centre for Mathematical Sciences is a joint department of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science at Lund University, where the mentioned division formally belongs to LTH. Research at CMS currently covers areas such as pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical statistics, as well as computer vision and machine learning. The department has approximately 150 employees, including 21 full professors and almost 50 senior researchers, as well as around 50 doctoral students. The AM division conducts broad research in applied mathematics, with an emphasis on numerical analysis for partial differential equations (PDEs) and modelling with PDEs. More information on ongoing research at the department can be found here. Each year, LTH admits more than 1000 new students to its engineering programmes, and mathematics education constitutes a central part of the five-year curriculum. The AM division is one of the three divisions responsible for large-scale mathematics teaching at LTH and is also responsible for teaching in numerical analysis. Undergraduate teaching in mathematics is primarily conducted in Swedish. Therefore, newly appointed teachers are expected, during an agreed establishment period, to acquire sufficient proficiency in Swedish to participate in all first-cycle mathematics courses at LTH. The Centre for Mathematical Sciences is now announcing a position as senior lecturer in applied mathematics with a focus on numerical analysis, in order to strengthen and further develop our research and teaching. We are seeking candidates who are both active researchers with solid scientific merits and pedagogically skilled teachers with a strong interest in pedagogics. SubjectApplied mathematics with focus on numerical analysis. Subject DescriptionThe applicant’s research focus must be a specialisation in numerical analysis for partial differential equations (PDEs). The specialisation should both strengthen the division’s current research in the field and contribute with new perspectives. In particular, it should relate to one or more of the following areas:
The application must clearly state how the applicant’s current research relates to the division’s research environment in numerical analysis, and how the applicant plans to contribute to its future development. Work DutiesWork duties include:
