The Department encourages persons from all areas of biomathematics to apply but is particularly interested in areas at the interface of mathematics and biosciences such as mathematical epidemiology, mathematical neurosciences, mathematical modeling of drug delivery and disease intervention/ prevention, mathematical and statistical methods for human genetics and population growth, biomedical imaging processing, stochastic modeling of biological and biomedical processes. The Department of Mathematics seeks candidates to join a growing Department with interactive faculty. The detailed posting of the position can be found at https://jobs.ncat.edu/postings/8967. Applications will be reviewed beginning February 15, 2016, and the review will continue until the position is filled. Interested applicants must submit the following items via the job posting at https://jobs.ncat.edu/postings/8967: 1) letter of interest (cover letter); 2) current curriculum vitae; 3) legible copies of all undergraduate and graduate transcripts (upload a copy of each transcript under the degree name; original transcripts will be required if hired); 4) statement of teaching philosophy; and 5) statement of research interests and accomplishments. ------ Subject: Faculty Positions, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Monash Univ From: Hans De Sterck Date: December 01, 2015 The School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University invites applications for a number of continuing academic positions in Applied Mathematics at the level of Senior Lecturer/Lecturer. The school is currently going through a phase of significant growth that will reinforce its position as a research leader in Applied Mathematics. Research areas of interest include PDEs, scientific computing, numerical analysis, asymptotic analysis, applied analysis, dynamical systems, and related areas. We are interested in outstanding academics who apply their mathematics research to problems in science, engineering, technology, and the biomedical sciences. These are continuing positions subject to probation review after five years. Monash University is a leading Australian research university that ranks in the top-100 globally. Monash University is located in Melbourne, which is a major cosmopolitan centre and has been named the world's most liveable city for five years in a row. For more information on these positions, please visit http://tinyurl.com/Monash-Applied-Math-Search Application deadline is 29 February 2016. ------ Subject: Contents, Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B 21:2 From: Liwei Ning Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 16:09:14 -0600 Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B (DCDS-B) Volume: 21, Number: 2 March 2016 http://aimsciences.org/journals/contentsListnew.jsp?pubID=824 1.
