THIS ROLE IS LOCATED IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.
The School of Mathematics and Statistics currently has more than eighty continuing academic staff and more than thirty research staff as well as visiting academics. UNSW is the only university in Australia to be ranked in the top 100 in the world in mathematics and statistics by CWTS Leiden, US News and QS. The School embodies a broad range of research interests in the areas of applied and pure mathematics, and statistics.
The Research Associate (Level A)/Senior Research Associate (Level B) will undertake research on an ARC-funded Discovery Project entitled "Probabilistic methods for complex discrete structures", in collaboration with Prof. Catherine Greenhill (UNSW), Dr Mikhail Isaev (UNSW), A/Prof. Anita Liebenau (UNSW), Prof. Brendan McKay (ANU) and Prof. Ian Wanless (Monash). The project aims to develop new theoretical tools to address fundamental challenges about graphs and hypergraphs with given degrees, including: asymptotic enumeration of (hyper)graphs with highly irregular degrees; distribution of small subgraphs in random (hyper)graphs with highly irregular degrees, and extensions of these considerations to combinatorial designs.
The position may also be expected to contribute to the teaching effort of the School of Mathematics and Statistics through limited teaching (no more than 15% of the role's total time in aggregate) in research-related undergraduate subjects, and/or to contribute to outreach activities of the School.
The School of Mathematics and Statistics is committed to diversity and equity, supporting women and staff from diverse backgrounds.
