Description
The Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences (AMCS) program in the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering Division (https://cemse.kaust.edu.sa) at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) invites applications for faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor (exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor level may be considered). The AMCS program contributes to developing mathematical frameworks and methodologies to foster economic prosperity and enhance the quality of life through the power of applied mathematics.
Priority will be given to candidates in the areas of Mathematical Foundations of Data Science and Applied Probability. All relevant areas to Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences will also be considered, including but not limited to Applied Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Scientific Computing, and Optimization. Candidates with portfolios that align with Saudi Arabia’s national priorities for research, development, and innovation (RDI), namely, Health and Wellness, Sustainable Environment and Essential Needs, Energy and Industrial Leadership, and Economies of the Future will be given the utmost priority (see also https://www.rdia.gov.sa/index.en.html).
Due to the high volume of applications received, only those submitted through the online Interfolio form will be considered. Applications will receive full consideration if submitted before January 15, 2025 and until the positions are filled.
High priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work rather than the candidate’s sub-area of specialization. An earned Ph D in Mathematics or a related field, and strong publication record in top-tier journals are required. Senior candidates must have demonstrated exceptional leadership in the field.
Women and members of traditionally underrepresented minority groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
A successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate level, and to build and lead a research group of postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Faculty members enjoy secure research funding from KAUST commensurate to their level of experience and have opportunities for additional funding through several sources provided directly by KAUST, by the RDI Authority (https://www.rdia.gov.sa/index.en.html), and through industry collaborations.
KAUST (https://www.kaust.edu.sa) is an international, graduate-only research university, located on the shores of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. It has a diverse international community, with English as the official instruction language. KAUST offers superb research facilities, including the upcoming Shaheen-3 supercomputer and a large-scale virtual reality installation; generous assured research funding; and internationally competitive salaries. KAUST attracts top international faculty, scientists, engineers and students to conduct curiosity-driven and goal-oriented research to address the world’s pressing scientific and technological challenges. KAUST ranked 1st globally for citations per faculty for six consecutive years, was ranked 1st University under 20 years old, and 7% of its faculty are listed as highly cited researchers (according to Clarivate). KAUST provides full financial support to its students, covering tuition, accommodation, and a living stipend. Additionally, it strives to drive regional innovation and economic development through its technology commercialization arm and numerous spin-off startups.
KAUST’s award-winning campus has everything you need to live, work, study and play. Designed to inspire and motivate our faculty, students and staff and their families to maintain an active lifestyle, KAUST is more than a University. With state-of-the-art fitness facilities, a golf course, numerous fine dining and casual fare restaurants, an Elementary and a Secondary school and the Red Sea just steps away, there is something for everyone (https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/live).
Qualifications
We are particularly interested in candidates with educational backgrounds from distinguished institutions of higher learning or those who have previously contributed to such institutions. Ideal candidates will possess a Ph.D. degree, exceptional research potential, the ability to attract external research funding and a strong dedication to teaching. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive employment benefits, and access to ample research funding opportunities to address industry-relevant projects. At KAUST, we embrace diversity and encourage applications from female faculty candidates. We are committed to cultivating a diverse faculty body and contributing to our vibrant academic community.
Application Instructions
You will be required to complete an application form and upload the following materials:
- A complete curriculum vitae with a list of publications;
- Research statement and a teaching statement;
- The names and contact information of at least 3 (and preferably 5) references.
