[Steve Lack]

Greetings all,

The Centre of Australian Category Theory at Macquarie University is 
advertising a 2-year postdoc in relation to a project entitled Working 
synthetically in higher categorical structures. It would be particularly 
suitable for people who work in higher categories, 2-categories, or 
homotopy type theory.

Further information is available here

http://jobs.mq.edu.au/cw/en/job/505375/postdoctoral-research-fellow-in-category-theory

or feel free to get in touch with Richard Garner, Ross Street, Dominic 
Verity, or me.

Regards,

Steve Lack.

Dear colleagues,

There is a job currently advertised at Macquarie University

http://jobs.mq.edu.au/cw/en/job/492516/lecturer-in-mathematics

with a closing date of 31 January. (This is local time: somewhat ahead
of most of the rest of the world.)

The ad asks for someone whose research interests are closely related to 
the current strengths of the department. This explicitly includes category theory.

The position title is "lecturer", which roughly corresponds to the level
of assistant professor in the US.

The ad also lists essential and desirable criteria. Applications 
including a statement which explicitly states how these are met tend to 
be more likely to be successful.

Steve Lack.

member of a group, together with an outline of a coherent plan for =20
future research); interest in developing research links within, and =20
outside, the University (particular plans to develop cross-=20
disciplinary links within the University, research links with =20
external institutions or industry research collaborations should be =20
indicated); interest and ability to teach undergraduate mathematics =20
across the full range of service and specialised courses (as =20
demonstrated by documented experience in tutoring, lecturing or =20
workshop presentation); well-developed interpersonal, written =20

Desirable Selection Criteria:  Research background in applied =20
mathematics or analysis particularly in one of the following areas: =20
(i) analytical-numeral techniques in wave diffraction and/or interest =20=

in applications to acoustic or electromagnetic waves, (ii) =20
applications of non-linear dynamical systems especially in electronic =20=

and physical systems, (iii) harmonic analysis and partial =20
differential equations involving the theory of singular integrals or =20
related topics; experience in industry-collaborative research or =20
experience of active participation in  an extensive national/=20
international research collaboration; established international =20
recognition (as demonstrated by publications, research grants, =20
citations or invited conference presentations); substantial =20
university-level teaching experience in mathematics across the full =20
range of service and specialised courses.

Enquiries:  Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Professor =20
Paul Smith on +61-2-9850-8944 or e-mail pdsmith@maths.mq.edu.au
