In the Department of Mathematics (https://www.brunel.ac.uk/mathematics) we conduct research in a range of topics including applied analysis, computational mathematics, continuum mechanics, mathematical physics, financial mathematics, operational research, data science, and applied statistics, and we offer PhD supervision across all these areas. We run undergraduate courses in Mathematics, Mathematics with Computer Science, Financial Mathematics and Mathematics for Data Science, and postgraduate MSc courses in Financial Mathematics and Statistics with Data Analytics. We also offer an undergraduate course in Mathematics for Data Science delivered through a Transnational Education partnership with North China University of Technology (NCUT), Beijing, China. This is run by BUL faculty predominantly resident in China as well as flying faculty from BUL who spend a proportion of their time teaching at NCUT in a typical academic year.

We are seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Mathematics, Statistics or Data Science/Analytics. The lecturer will be based at Brunel University London, UK, and will participate in the delivery of our UG programmes in the UK. As a part of their teaching duties, they may be called upon to contribute to the NCUT programme, by travelling to Beijing to teach on the Mathematics for Data Science BSc at NCUT and/or by providing online support for the NCUT provision.

The role requires interaction and cooperation with academic colleagues in both BUL and NCUT in delivering teaching. The successful candidate will also be expected to join one of the Department of Mathematics’ research groups (Applied and Numerical Analysis, Mathematical Physics and Applied Mathematics, Financial Mathematics and Operational Research, Statistics and Data Science) and to contribute to our thriving research environment.

About you

BUL delivers a variety of taught modules on its BSc programmes, encompassing applied mathematics, statistics, programming and data science.
