The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) has an opening for several postdoctoral scholar positions, starting in fall 2025. The appointments are for fixed terms, but renewable upon satisfactory performance and funding availability. Candidates should have finished their Ph.D. in applied mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, machine learning, or a related field before their appointment start date. Successful candidates are expected to carry out research, collaborate with faculty members, apply for external funding, and teach courses.
Candidates in all areas of applied mathematics and statistics may apply. Our interests include but are not limited to analysis and computation of partial differential equations and applications; stochastic processes and applications (e.g. mathematical biology, data science); mathematical biology with modeling and analysis of cellular dynamics (e.g. clustered cell migration, neuromechanical locomotion, network synchronization), parameter estimation (e.g. in epidemiological spread, chemical reaction networks), emergent behavior (e.g. flocking, swarming); optimization theory and numerical optimization with applications to data science; high-dimensional statistics; Bayesian statistics; resampling techniques; digital twins; uncertainty quantification; statistical process control; foundations of machine learning and artificial intelligence; statistical applications to biomedical problems and precision medicine.
Three specific research focuses will be given priority:
- Applied Mathematics or Statistics, in particular relating to data science applications
- Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation of fluid-structure interaction models
- Foundations of digital twins and uncertainty quantification, with applications to neuroscience problems
Applicants should submit (a) a cover letter; (b) a curriculum vitae that includes publications; (c) a description of research interests and research plans; (d) a brief teaching statement; (e) a statement of commitment to inclusive excellence; and (e) have at least three letters of recommendation submitted on their behalf.
Applicants should apply to each position that they would like to be considered for using the following Interfolio links.
Applicants should apply using:
Postdoctoral Researcher in Mathematics - http://apply.interfolio.com/158841
Postdoctoral Researcher for Mathematics or Statistics - https://apply.interfolio.com/158844
