Permanent Positions (Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor) at the University of Cape Town (among others: 'Mathematics of Computer Science')

UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN

LECTURER/ SENIOR LECTURER/ ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS

The Department is a large and dynamic organisation with an establishment 
of over thirty faculty members.  We seek to make three new appointments 
with effect from January 2006 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Applications are sought for posts at all levels, from Lecturer to 
Associate Professor, in all fields compatible with the research interests 
of the Department, including enrichment programmes for schools (see our 
website at http://www.mth.uct.ac.za/ for details of research groups). We 
particularly encourage applications from candidates with research and 
teaching interests in one of Cosmology, Mathematics of Computer Science or 
Mathematical Modelling.

Candidates in Cosmology, should interface closely with the group's 
existing research interests, which are in inhomogeneous cosmology, 
including the properties & evolution of exact models, relating 
observations to cosmological models, gauge-invariant perturbation theory, 
relativistic astrophysics, the dynamics of cosmological models, 
generalized theories of gravity (including braneworlds), curvature 
quintessence and cosmic microwave background anisotropies, but should also 
add strength in one or more of the statistics of model testing, and 
analysis and reduction of modern cosmological datasets.

Candidates in the Mathematics of Computer Science should strengthen or 
complement the existing research in Computability and Complexity on the 
Real Numbers. Such areas include Algorithmic Information Theory, 
Kolmogorov Complexity, Computability and Complexity Theory, Quantum 
Computing, Algorithmic Learning Theory, Theory of Neural Networks, Omega 
Languages, Symbolic Dynamics, Computational Geometry.

Candidates in Mathematical Modelling should preferably have computational 
interests and expertise, and should strengthen or complement existing 
strengths in fluid and solid mechanics (for example thin films, phase 
changes, and inelastic behaviour), industrial mathematics, biological 
modelling of marine and other renewable resources, epidemiology, and 
theoretical ecology.

Young mathematicians with interests in the above research areas are 
encouraged to apply. Applicants for a senior position should have good 
teaching and strong international research records, and the ability to 
raise research funding and develop strong research programmes in their 
fields of interest. Candidates should indicate for which level of position 
they are applying. Level of appointment will be commensurate with 
experience and standing of applicants.

The remuneration packages, including benefits, are:

Associate Professor:	ZAR 356 160 p.a = EUR 43500
Senior Lecturer:	ZAR 300 510 p.a = EUR 36500
Lecturer:		ZAR 244 860 p.a = EUR 30000
