    The School of Mathematical Sciences at QUT is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral research fellow in Applied Mathematics. The position supports research in computational mathematics and mathematical biology, led by Professor Matthew Simpson, through an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant. Candidates with expertise in numerical methods for partial differential equations will be preferred. Expert knowledge in mathematical biology and reaction-diffusion modelling in mathematical biology are desirable. There may an opportunity to teach mathematics units in the school. The successful candidate will work closely with Professor Matthew Simpson to develop and deploy numerical algorithms that solve partial differential equation models describing tissue growth experiments. The position will focus on the generation of new knowledge at the interface of computational mathematics and mathematical biology, with a strong focus on producing high-quality publications in applied and computational mathematics, and mathematical biology.
