Postdoctoral Fellow - Mathematics & Statistics

OverviewCandidate will conduct research within a 3+ year Australian Research Council Discovery Project at UNSW Sydney, advancing extreme value theory for random dynamical systems through functional analysis, operator theory, and ergodic theory. The project includes applications to nonstationary spatiotemporal data from weather and climate observations/models.LocationSYDNEY, AUSTRALIACompensation & DurationLevel A – $113,000 – $121,000 plus 17% superannuation and annual leave loading.
