The University of Western Sydney is a large multi-campus university servicing a diverse range of students. The School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics utilises the synergy of information and communication technologies, engineering and mathematics.

We seek an energetic, forward thinking, dynamic, and innovative scholar to take on a Career Development Fellowship for a fixed term appointment of two years. The appointee will be based at Parramatta Campus. The mathematical sciences researchers at UWS conduct research in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. In particular, the group is building its research in statistics and signal processing.

The successful applicant will undertake research in statistical methods for the analysis of hyperspectral signals and images. Hyperspectral data occurs in remote sensing (airborne now and satellite in the future) and in biology. The position is intended to develop methods from multispectral imaging to the hyperspectral setting using sparsity-promoting and regularisation ideas.

The successful applicant is expected to be developing a strong international standing and research reputation, have an excellent research background in the field of computational statistics, undertake independent research, be involved in research student supervisions, organise and/or participate in various research activities including research seminars and discussions, short courses, mentoring programs and career development activities, and research grant applications, and contribute to the University’s teaching programs.
