The School of Mathematics and Statistics, with 11 full-time academics, is
involved in a range of teaching and research activities. It has a small
undergraduate student body preparing for professional careers involving
mathematics, statistics and operations research.  The School manages the
Management Sciences course, offered jointly by the Faculties of Information
Sciences and Engineering and of Management and will be managing a new
course in Physical Sciences, with options in mathematics, statistics,
computing, electronics and applied physics.  The School is heavily involved
in the provision of service teaching in mathematics and statistics,
including majors, for students in engineering, computing, management,
administration, accounting, education, psychology and other disciplines.
The School has national and international research links and staff have
been the recipients of a number of competitive teaching and research
grants.  Current research interests include differential equations,
differential geometry, robust statistics, scoring systems, group theory,
global positioning and planetary motion.  The School also has strong links
with the activities of the Australian Mathematics Trust, based at the
University of Canberra.

You will create and head a research centre for the School of Mathematics
and Statistics, incorporating existing research activities, and will make a
substantial contribution to the teaching program.  You will also assume the
important leadership role of Head of School for an initial three year term
and as such lead and develop the School across all teaching programs.

You will have a PhD in Mathematics or Statistics and will exhibit
outstanding research capabilities, leadership and management skills.  A
