<\/p>\n
The University of Dundee is seeking an exceptional candidate to join our Magnetohydrodynamics research group in Applied Mathematics, based within the School of Science and Engineering.<\/p>\n
Mathematics at Dundee was ranked 8th (of 53) in the UK and 1st in Scotland in the national Research Excellence Framework assessment in 2014 \u2013 a major contributor to this success was the internationally-recognised research of the Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) group. The MHD group carries out fundamental research into the structure and dynamics of magnetic fields and plasmas, using a combination of numerical simulations (HPC) and mathematical analysis based on dynamical systems theory, braid theory and differential geometry. The main areas of application are astrophysical plasmas, particularly solar plasmas. Group members also work on applications to laboratory plasmas and other fluid dynamical systems (for more details see http:\/\/www.maths.dundee.ac.uk\/mhd\/<\/a> ).<\/p>\n The successful candidate will be expected to perform internationally leading research in an area that complements that of the MHD group. We interpret the research area in its broadest sense and welcome applications in all areas of theory, modelling and observations of plasmas and fluids. The successful candidate should also have a commitment to excellence in teaching. Mathematics as a discipline has been placed in the top 10 in the UK in all major subject league tables in 2016, and offers a range of undergraduate and MSc degrees.<\/p>\n The School holds Athena Swan Bronze Awards in all of its discipline areas, recognising its commitment and success in developing practices to support the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) in academia.<\/p>\n For a full job description and details of how to apply, see http:\/\/www.jobs.ac.uk\/job\/AUC547\/lecturer-in-applied-mathematics-teaching-and-research\/<\/a><\/p>\n Appointment will be at grade 7 – 8 Lecturer (\u00a334,576 – \u00a346,414)<\/p>\n Closing Date: 6 March 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n Informal inquires may be made to Prof Gunnar Hornig g.hornig@dundee.ac.uk <\/a>or Dr David Pontin d.i.pontin@dundee.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n ********************************************************<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n NEXT HYDROMAG NEWSLETTER <\/strong><\/p>\n —————————–<\/p>\n will be issued in the end of April, 2016.
