About this position
Queensland University of Technology is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Applied Mathematics to join the School of Mathematical Sciences within the Faculty of Science and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Mathematical Analysis of Cellular Systems (MACSYS).
MACSYS is a major interdisciplinary research initiative in mathematical biology. It brings together mathematical, computational, and biological scientists to develop the mathematics and computational technologies needed to make biology predictive. The centre works toward mathematical whole-cell models for in silico biology, complementary to traditional in vivo and in vitro approaches, while addressing fundamental biological questions and building a world-leading research and biotechnology translation environment.
The successful fellow will undertake applied-mathematics research that advances the MACSYS mission, with a focus on analysing biological data and interpreting it through mathematical modelling. The work sits at the intersection of applied and computational mathematics, biological systems, mathematical modelling, and scientific programming. There may also be opportunities to contribute to undergraduate or postgraduate teaching in the mathematical sciences.
The fellow will join QUT’s multidisciplinary School of Mathematical Sciences, which has extensive teaching and research programs spanning statistics, operations research, applied mathematics, and computational mathematics. The research environment includes academic and research-only staff and a strong record of Australian Research Council fellowships. The position is based at QUT’s Gardens Point campus, with a hybrid working option.
