Ireland: Assistant Professor in High-performance Computing
Start date: January 2027.
About the role
This is a teaching and research position. The successful candidate will contribute at all levels of teaching and supervision undertaken by the School of Mathematics and will be expected to conduct a vigorous research programme.
The School seeks to expand its existing research strengths in Computational Mathematics/Numerical Analysis with a focus on High-Performance Computing (HPC). The School boasts research groups in Applied and Numerical Linear Algebra (ANLA) and a computationally-focused high-energy physics group working in Lattice QCD. The appointee will complement the work of these groups while further building computational and HPC expertise in both Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate education and supervision.
- Develop and deliver lectures for the School’s taught MSc degree in High Performance Computing, with a preference for candidates who can offer or develop content complementary to the existing curriculum.
- Conduct a vigorous, independent research programme in Computational Mathematics/Numerical Analysis with applications in High-Performance Computing.
Requirements
Candidates working in any area within Computational Mathematics/Numerical Analysis will be considered, with preference for those with experience in High-Performance Computing applications. Particular encouragement is given to applicants specialising in large-scale computations in optimisation and stochastic partial-differential equations.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated exceptional research promise in the field.
