Full-Time/Permanent (This role is based between Dundee and China) Grade 7


or 8 (41,671 - 55,755)


The School of Science and Engineering seeks a Lecturer in Mathematics to contribute to our dynamic teaching and research


environment. The successful candidate will pursue high-quality research that complements our strengths and contribute to


teaching at the Dundee International Institute in Changsha, China. The Dundee International Institute of Central South


University (DIICSU) is a partnership between the University of Dundee and Central South University (CSU), a top-tier


university in Changsha, China.

A unique aspect of this position is its international dimension. You will have two work pattern options: either undertaking your


teaching in one intensive 20-week semester at the DIICSU in Changsha, China, with the remainder of your time spent in


Dundee, UK, or being fully based in our Changsha campus. The preferred pattern will be discussed with the successful


candidate. You will benefit from an exceptionally supportive environment that actively encourages professional development


and offers numerous opportunities for collaboration.

As this role is based in the UK and China, you must hold the right to work in both countries or be eligible to obtain it. Visa


support will be provided. To obtain a China visa, you must have 2 years of lecturer-level teaching experience in Higher


Education and hold a PhD.

The discipline of Mathematics has research strengths in

Mathematical Biology and Computational Biophysics, developing a wide range of mathematical, physical and
computational tools and techniques.

Magnetohydrodynamics and Astrophysics, combining innovative computational and mathematical modelling with
state-of-the-art observations to address problems such as the dynamics of magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere.


Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, developing numerical methods and algorithms that are accurate,
efficient, and robust with respect to challenges that manifest in the simulation of complex phenomena arising in


biological and physical applications.

Uncertainty quantification, stochastic and predictive modelling, scientific machine learning and optimisation.
