Call for Special Sessions at AustMS 2021, University of Newcastle, December 2021

The 65th Annual Conference of the Australian Mathematical Society will be held at the University of Newcastle, 6-10 December 2021. We warmly invite proposals for special sessions at this year’s edition of the conference. We hope to have a very good representation of our mathematical strengths in Australia, so please come forward in proposing a special session in your area of research or education.

If you wish to run a special session, please submit your proposal here. The deadline for submision of proposals is 20 June 2021.

Best wishes, Florian Breuer (AustMS 2021 Conference Director)

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Data Science

University of Sydney
School of Mathematics and Statistics

Closing Date: 4th July 2021

The University of Sydney is welcoming applications for a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Data Science to join leading experts at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, within the Faculty of Science. We are one of the largest mathematical sciences schools in Australia, and the University of Sydney is the only Australian university to have received the highest rating of 5 out of 5 for research in the mathematical sciences in every Australian Research Council Excellence in Research for Australia assessment to date.

As a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Data Science you will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to teaching and learning design, delivery, and evaluation while continuing to build your research contribution, expertise and impact. We are welcoming applicants from different research backgrounds who can bring their own research agenda, complementing the Schools’ current research foci, whilst benefiting from our supportive community of world-class mathematicians and statisticians. We invite applicants with research strengths in the intersection between Data Science and Mathematics or Statistics. This includes, but is not limited to, topics such as statistical machine learning, mathematical foundations of machine learning, computational statistics, information theory, information geometry, statistical natural language processing, topological data analysis,  Bayesian inference, and research areas combining mathematical modelling, computational statistics, and data analysis.
