Senior Lecturer/Lecturer in Applied Mathematics
Northumbria University (School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences)
Dear colleagues,
Northumbria University (at Newcastle) is advertising a permanent academic position in its Mathematics and Statistics division (located in the School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences). The candidate must be an excellent applied mathematician, and must have a research profile that strengthens the current profile of the School. As you may know, I have recently been appointed to a similar position at Northumbria, and so “Solar Physics”, “Magnetohydrodynamics” and “Mathematical Modelling of Solar Phenomena” are now all active and valid research areas within the School.
Thus, candidates who can demonstrate that they have the necessary skills in applied mathematics, and are active researchers in Solar Physics/Magnetohydrodynamics are strongly encouraged to apply. This is also a real opportunity to kick start a new Solar Physics research group (i.e. the successful candidate would join Dr James McLaughlin, Dr Gary Verth and our solar PhD students). If you are interested, feel free to phone me (0191-227-3667) or email me ( james.a.mclaughlin@northumbria.ac.uk ) and I can let you know more details.
This is a time of strategic recruitment and expansion at Northumbria University and stems from the new Vice-Chancellor. My permanent position (I started in January 2010) came from this new strategic investment, and likewise this lectureship is from the same investment strategy. The School has also been very good to me: I have been given a 3-year research assistant (Dr Gary Verth) and a PhD studentship (Mr Jonathan Thurgood), so they are really serious about investing in their new academics. Above all, the School is looking for high-quality, motivated researchers who are conducting REF-driven research. If this sounds like you, then I encourage you to apply. However, note the deadline of 31st January 2012 !
