Open Rank Faculty -Mathematics

Description

The Mathematics Department seeks to attract faculty working on modern fields of research that are needed to complement the research strength of the team, such as: 

·       Mathematical Statistics, Quantitative Finance, and Probability

·       Machine Learning, Quantum and Scientific Computing

·       Optimization

·       Non-linear Dynamics of Complex Systems and Mathematical Biology

·       Mathematical Foundations: Algebra, Analysis and Differential equations

The Mathematics Department hosts a vibrant community of scholars who actively engage in research and development within rapidly emerging scientific fields. Research in the Mathematics Department is funded by local and international agencies. The department is actively working on setting up and developing modern experimental and computing research facilities.

Candidates are expected to be leaders in research in their respective fields, with a proven record of independent research.  All candidates should have an active Scopus profile.  In addition to the number of Scopus publications in top journals (top 1%, 10%, Q1), the publications profile of the candidate, i.e., placement of authorship in  publications that do not use alphabetical author order, number of publications with students, average publications per year, number of publications in recent years, etc. Furthermore, Math reviews and Zentralblat profiles will be analyzed and taken into account. Evidence of attraction of research funding as principal investigator also play a role. The candidates must provide credible evidence of their ability to create and lead a research team at KU. Teaching experience at undergraduate/postgraduate levels should be commensurate with the years of experience.  The ranking of the PhD institution as well as the current employer standing are also factors that will be considered in the evaluation.

The successful candidate is expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, establish and maintain an active research program that leads to peer-reviewed publications in high-impact professional journals, and provide service to the department, the university, and the profession
