This includes (but is not limited to) operator algebras, ergodic theory and topological dynamics, random walks on groups and graphs, infinite-dimensional groups of transformations, quantum information, partial and functional differential equations, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. The ability of the candidate to participate in more than one of the established research groups will be viewed as an asset (see http://science.uottawa.ca/mathstat/ for more details on this and other aspects of the department).

Application deadline: November 15, 2016.

Applicants should provide a curriculum vitae, a research plan, a teaching statement, and arrange for four confidential letters of recommendation (one of which to address teaching), to be submitted through the AMS Mathjobs website, www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/9061. Applicants are encouraged to include copies of (up to) three of their most significant publications. They should also indicate in their covering letter how their research interests complement those of the members of the department. Applications will be reviewed from 15 November 2016 until positions are filled.
