The School of Mathematics is a research-led School in Cardiff University, one of the UK’s leading universities, with a reputation for internationally excellent research and high-quality teaching. In the last Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, Cardiff University was ranked 5th in the UK in terms of the grade point average (GPA) of its overall quality profile and 2nd for Impact. http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/mathematics

Applied and Computational Mathematics at Cardiff

Our research in the area of applied and computational mathematics is informed by problems at the interface with physical sciences, biological sciences and engineering and there are many productive interdisciplinary collaborations within Cardiff University and further afield.

The current research interests of the group include fluid mechanics: wetting phenomena; free-surface flows; dynamics of liquid films and jets; hydrodynamic stability theory; laminar-turbulent transition mechanisms; boundary-layer and wake flow instabilities; boundary layer flow control; acoustic-gravity waves; viscoelastic flows; structural and solid mechanics: numerical analysis of damage; multi-scale modelling, limit states analysis; numerical analysis and scientific computing: finite element methods; spectral element methods; immersed boundary method; lattice Boltzmann methods; differential algebraic equations; applied analysis: homogenisation and the mechanics of composites.

The group hosts the Cardiff University Student Chapter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (SIAM-IMA Student Chapter) which encompasses postgraduate students and faculty members from across the University who are interested in mathematics or scientific computing and their real-world applications.

This position is a full-time position, 35 hours per week and is open ended.

Salary range: £33,797 - £40,322 per annum (Grade 6)

The post is available from 1 July 2021 or a mutually agreed date thereafter.

We particularly welcome applications from females as they are under-represented with Cardiff University in this field.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Tim Phillips (PhillipsTN@cardiff.ac.uk) or Dr Angela Mihai (Mihaila@cardiff.ac.uk).
