Dear All,

I am glad to announce that the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds is advertising up to two posts for Lecturers in Actuarial/Financial Mathematics. Please follow the link for details:

https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=MAPMA1061

Deadline for application: 17 September 2017.

The expected interview dates are 6/7 November.

I would be most grateful if you could please forward this announcement to suitable candidates.

The newly advertised jobs are part of a major strategic plan of the School to strengthen its expertise in Applied Probability and Financial Maths (last May we appointed 2 lecturers who are due to start in the autumn semester). The School is keen on supporting research in the area: last year it funded and hosted the conference "Stochastic Analysis of Dynamical Systems, Stochastic Control and Games" (www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/sandsycog ); in September it will host and partly fund the conference "Stochastic Control, Ambiguity and Games" followed by the research week "Stopping Games for Ambiguity-Averse Players" (www.ambiguity2017.leeds.ac.uk ).

 
People representative of current research interests within the group are:

1. Georgios Aivaliotis
