[Andrew Mason]

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Analytics

Engineering Science Department
University of Auckland
Auckland City Campus
New Zealand

The University of Auckland is New Zealand's largest university and 
houses the country’s largest and most successful engineering school. 
Within the Faculty of Engineering, the Department of Engineering Science 
(DES) provides undergraduate degree programmes in Engineering Science 
and Biomedical Engineering (see www.des.auckland.ac.nz). The Engineering 
Science degree focuses on mathematical modelling and its application to 
problems in solid and fluid mechanics and operations 
research/computational analytics (ORCA). Each cohort in the Engineering 
Science degree consists of about 40 students selected at Year 2 of their 
degree. Entry standards are high. DES also has teaching responsibilities 
in mathematics and computation to students from all disciplines within 
the School of Engineering.

DES has an excellent research record in operations 
research/computational analytics and provides the largest and most 
successful group working in this area in New Zealand. The ORCA team 
(currently seven full-time academics) has special expertise in 
scheduling and rostering, ambulance scheduling, network modelling, 
stochastic and multi-objective optimization, and electricity market 
research. Much of this research is carried out in collaboration with 
local industries, with which the group has strong links.

We are seeking to make an appointment in data-driven analytics to 
complement the decision modelling expertise in the Department. We are 
seeking applicants with broad interests in data analytics and its 
applications, but specific expertise in machine learning, applied 
probability and statistics, and database systems for mining and 
analysing big data sets will be preferred. The successful applicant will 
be expected to build and lead a programme of international quality 
research and undertake PhD research supervision in the general area of 
computational analytics; to develop and deliver curricula and courses in 
the field of computational analytics; and perform service roles in the 
Department of Engineering Science.
