The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI)

Director of The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI)
The University of Melbourne
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science Parkville Campus
Closing date: 30th April, 2009

The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (www.amsi.org.au) was established in 2002. AMSI's mission is to "promote and strengthen the understanding and use of the mathematical sciences in Australia's culture, science and economy."

The Director provides leadership in AMSI's strategic directions and programs with responsibility to the Members and the Board. Appointment to this position may be a stand-alone fixed-term appointment in its own right or a secondment from another post. The level of appointment will be commensurate with the skills, qualifications and experience of the appointee. Any suitable appointee will be at Level E.

The appointee will be able to continue to pursue an active research program if desired and to undertake the supervision of postgraduate students under the auspices of one of the Member universities, subject to the agreement of the Board. Work as AMSI Director will take precedence over research and research supervision, with the latter representing no more than 20% of the total commitment.
