**Who are we looking for?**

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is seeking a Lecturer in Mathematical Sciences to join School of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science, Academic Division.

**Real world impact**

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.

**About the Faculty**

The Faculty of Science aims to explore the frontiers of our physical and digital worlds to drive innovation and develop solutions to complex, real-world challenges. We deliver distinctive programs in Information Technology, Mathematics and Science to meet industry demands for data-driven and technological solutions.
Strong connections and long-standing partnerships with governments and industry enable us to address complex challenges though learning, teaching, research, and innovation. We facilitate learning that is delivered on campus, online and in the real-world through relevant and practical learning experiences.
Our Schools are established around disciplines that promote collaboration in teaching and research. These include:

- School of Biology and Environmental Science
- School of Chemistry and Physics
- School of Computer Science
- School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
- School of Information Systems
- School of Mathematical Sciences

The Faculty is renowned for its translational research expertise in areas such as climate change, energy, geosystems, food security and water resource management led by world-class and internationally recognised researchers. The Faculty is home to both University and Faculty based Research Centres, including:

- Centre for Agriculture and the Bioeconomy
- Centre for Data Science
- Centre for Materials Science
- Centre for Clean Energy Technologies and Practices
- Centre for the Environment
- Centre for Waste Free World

The Faculty is led by the Executive Dean and the Executive Management Team which includes the Deputy Deans, Associate Deans, Heads of School, and the Faculty Operations Manager.

**About the School**

The School of Mathematical Sciences (SMS) is a vibrant, multidisciplinary school with extensive teaching and research programs covering the fields of statistics, operations research and applied and computational mathematics.
There are currently 29 full-time academic staff members employed in the School, including 11 full Professors.
Over the past five years four staff members were awarded an ARC Discovery Early Career Award and five staff were awarded ARC Future Fellowships. Three of the School’s Professors are among Australia’s top ten most highly cited researchers in mathematics. School staff include a member of the Australian Academy of Sciences, two recipients of national teaching excellence awards in mathematics, and three medallists for research contributions in applied and industrial mathematics.
The School offers programs of study at Bachelors, Honours, Masters (research) and PhD levels. Our main degrees are the Bachelor of Mathematics with majors in Statistics, Operations Research and Applied and Computational Mathematics and the Bachelor of Data Science.
In November 2019, QUT officially opened the Centre for Data Science which has a vision to be a national and global leader in the development of frontier methods for the use of data to benefit our world. In collaboration with government and industry, this Centre will draw together capability in data science across Australia to solve global challenges across all sectors. The Centre also has a strong remit in education to provide rigorous training of current and future data scientists.
