The School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Sydney advertises two Lecturer / Senior Lecturer positions in dynamical systems.

The School seeks to make appointments in the growing area of operator-theoretic methods for dynamical systems, which covers a broad spectrum from theory to applications, in connection with the establishment of a a new research cluster led by Gary Froyland.

The positions are full-time and continuing, at Lecturer (Level B) or Senior Lecturer (Level C) level.

The School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Sydney advertises a postdoctoral position in dynamical systems within a five-year Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship project led by Gary Froyland.

The project aims to develop new methods for the analysis of dynamical systems, drawing on functional analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, differential geometry, data science, and machine learning. Possible research topics include linear response, statistical limit laws, random and nonautonomous dynamical systems, spectral analysis, data-driven dynamics, stability and perturbation theory, and rigorous numerics.

The Mathematics Institute of the University of Vienna advertises a a PhD position starting November 1st 2026 (or first available date after that) supervised by Professor Henk Bruin on a project involving billiard dynamics.

This position is for 3 years, with extension of up to one year subject to financial conditions in 2029-2030, and should lead to obtaining the degree of PhD.

Salary level: Salary is paid in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement (B1, 30h/week). In Vienna a PhD position is standard for 30 hours per week, and the rest is meant to follow courses for at least 25 ECTS for the duration of the position (i.e., up to the thesis defense).

The Doctoral School in Mathematics at the University of Pisa has opened a call for two PhD positions in Ergodic Theory of Dynamical Systems, under the supervision of Claudio Bonanno, starting in November 2026.

The School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Sydney advertises a two-year postdoctoral position.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research within a 3+ year Australian Research Council Discovery Project at UNSW Sydney. The project seeks to advance the field of extreme value theory for random dynamical systems through the development of novel techniques in functional analysis, operator theory, and ergodic theory. Applications of the new theory will include the analysis of nonstationary spatiotemporal data arising from weather and climate observations/models.

In collaboration with the Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of Geneva and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, the Group of Applied Physics at the University of Geneva invites applications for a PhD studentship as part of an exciting new research project entitled:
