Zayed University’s College of Interdisciplinary Studies invites applications for Applied/Computational Mathematics faculty within the Computational Systems program. There are multiple positions available across both the Abu Dhabi and Dubai campuses. The expected start date is August 2023.
Zayed University has introduced new undergraduate programs in Interdisciplinary Studies that will reshape learning, research, and professional development. Students will learn in an entirely new way, combining the best of several disciplines to prepare them as next-generation leaders in a rapidly changing world. Our programs have been designed to help students step into the world with skills that can be applied to navigate evolving business and enterprise landscapes. As a student-centric program, we focus on learning outcomes, small interactive class sessions, and deep engagement between faculty and students, with feedback given in both directions.
About the Position
The Computational Systems program, within the College of Interdisciplinary Studies, invites applications from faculty with a proven academic record in the broad areas of applied and computational mathematics or closely related fields. Potential candidates are expected to have an established commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level. Candidates with expertise in computational mathematics and its applications in data science and machine learning are strongly encouraged to apply.
As a faculty member, you will provide practical hands-on instruction in an engaging learning environment, incorporating innovative teaching methodologies to enhance our student's learning experience and achieve learning outcomes. Having a record of interdisciplinary research outputs will be an added advantage. Preference will be given to such candidates whose research reflects such an approach.
Faculty are expected to teach each semester and be active researchers. Additionally, faculty will be expected to engage in service to the college and institution as requested.
About the Computational Systems Program
The Computational Systems program provides the scientific foundations to develop solutions for natural, human-mediated, and social phenomena through analytics, modeling, and application of computational methods. While the core courses in the program build on principles and foundations, the advanced courses focus on three concentrations: machine intelligence, applied data science, and digital security. Students will be enabled to deliver competitive products that leverage artificial intelligence to meet industry needs, data science for decision-making support, and ensure security to protect society in this digital age.
