International Association
for Cryptologic Research

The Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics is a large and dynamic establishment with over thirty faculty members. We seek to make two new appointments in Pure Mathematics as soon as possible. Applications are sought for two posts at the level of Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor.

Candidates must be in possession of a PhD in the Mathematical Sciences and are expected to have a strong research track record, which must show evidence of independence and leadership.

Applications in all areas of Pure Mathematics will be considered. However we are particularly seeking active researchers whose research field complements and strengthens the existing research in our department in algebra, analysis, discrete mathematics related to computer science (including cryptography), and geometry. The department intends filling one of the posts with an algebraist.

Candidates should indicate for which level of position they are applying. Level of appointment will be commensurate with experience and standing of applicants; at Associate Professor level a record of Post Graduate supervision would normally be expected.

The successful applicants will be expected to teach not only in their areas of research, but also service courses offered to other Faculties such as Engineering and Commerce, to contribute to the administration of the department and its courses, to supervise students and to attract research funding.

The annual remuneration packages, including benefits, are as follows:

• Associate Professor: R 663 359

• Senior Lecturer: R 562 173

To apply, please e-mail the completed UCT Application form (HR201) and all other relevant documentation as indicated on the form, with the subject line “SL/AP - MAM” followed by the reference number to Ms Melanie Falken at melanie.falken (at) uct.ac.za.

Reference number for this position: SR463/13
