The search isopen to all sub-domains of statistics and computationalapplied mathematics, but with a particular interest inapplications to data sciences, life sciences, optimisation,control and inverse problems. Current EPFL-wideresearch initiatives include neuroscience and materialsscience, and applications from mathematicians andstatisticians working in these areas are also encouraged.We seek candidates with an outstanding researchrecord and a strong commitment to excellence in teachingat all levels. While appointments are foreseen at thetenure-track assistant professor level, in exceptionalcases an appointment at a more senior level may beconsidered.Substantial start-up resources and research infrastructurewill be available.Applications should include a letter of motivation,curriculum vitae, publication list, concise statement ofresearch and teaching interests, as well as the namesand addresses (including email) of at least five refereesand should be submitted via the website:https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/4249The evaluation process will start on November 1st,2014, but later applications may also be considered.Further enquiries should be made to:Prof. Philippe MichelChairman of the Search Committeee-mail: appliedmath2014@epfl.chThe School of Basic Sciences actively aims to increasethe presence of women amongst its faculty, and femalecandidates are strongly encouraged to apply.EMS Newsletter December 2014 23
