Job Summary
The Department of Applied Mathematics To undertake research under the guidance of the Principal Investigator and support the supervision of any graduate and undergraduate students who may be assisting with the research on the modeling and analysis of online-offline spillover systems.
Who We Are
The departmental roots go back to the turn of the last century when it originally was the Department of Engineering Mathematics. The Department teaches thousands of students and has a major research presence in computational and physical/biological mathematics and the statistical sciences. It has 20 tenured or tenure track faculty. In addition there are 13 full time instructors, more than 110 graduate students including approximately 40 teaching assistants, about 179 applied math majors, 109 statistics majors, 105 minors and a thriving Bachelor's-Accelerated Master's program.
The Department strives to be a leading program of applied mathematics. In 2018, the US News & World Report ranked the unit’s graduate program 14th in the nation. The unit also ranked positively in many measures by the National Research Council in its 2010 decadal survey.
Our faculty have won numerous awards including: four being named fellows of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, two being named fellows of the American Mathematical Society, two being named fellows of the American Physical Society, two Guggenheim Fellows, American Statistical Association Fellow, Sloan Fellow. At CU-System: one Distinguished Professor, and at CU-Boulder: Hazel Barnes Prize, Professor of Distinction, winners of numerous CU-Boulder faculty awards, and two distinguished research lecturers.
What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be
- The successful candidate will independently undertake research in the modeling and analysis of various online-offline systems.
- The postdoctoral researcher will play a big role in the modeling, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis of network-based models of online dissipation of social tension and spillover effects offline.
- The researcher will also work on supporting the simulation of dynamics of networks related to psychological experiments, which will be run by colleagues at UCLA.
- The researcher will also be responsible for producing high quality reports and or manuscripts and help disseminate the research to the wider academic community.
- The researcher will also support the supervision of a graduate and undergraduate student.
- The researcher will be responsible for giving weekly updates during the main grant research meeting.
