Expected skills:

Applicants must show a strong interest in teaching as well as a high-level scientific record in accordance with UGA’s ambitions. They must identify with UGA’s values, that is, being open to the world, emphasising ethics and scientific integrity, showing an interest in teamwork and being committed to the community. They should also have a sense of responsibility, in particular with regard to environmental and social issues.

Context and educational objectives:

The IM²AG Department courses cover a very wide range of fields from computer science to fundamental mathematics, as well as fields at the crossroads of disciplines (cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, operational research, modelling, optimisation, etc.). The courses are under the responsibility of teaching schools: the School of Computer Science, the School of Mathematics and the School of Applied Mathematics. The School of Applied Mathematics will be the reference school for the successful candidate.

The successful candidate will be able to teach mathematics, applied mathematics and numerical methods, at Bachelor’s and Master’s level.

They are expected to actively contribute to the life of the laboratory and to the academic programs at the university where applied mathematics (including numerical analysis, scientific computing, partial differential equations, and modeling) play a role. In particular, involvement is expected in the international Master's programs: the year 1 of the Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics and the year 2 of the Msc in Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
