J-BJI, the Jinan University – University of Birmingham Joint Institute, is a joint venture based at the Panyu Campus, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China which took its first students in 2017. We currently deliver four BSc programmes in Mathematics, Mathematics with Economics, Mathematics with Statistics and Mathematics with Information Computing Science, attracting high quality undergraduates from across China. The programmes are taught entirely in English, with the mathematics component being delivered by the Flying Faculty and Secondee team of 17 Associate and Assistant Professors from the School of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham.

In this round of recruitment, we are looking to recruit two Grade 8 Assistant or Grade 9 Associate Professors based in Birmingham who will spend periods of 1-2 months teaching blocks as Flying Faculty or as Secondee staff periods of four to six months teaching in Guangzhou. This post is for Teaching and Research or Teaching-focused staff available as soon as possible.

We have 2 posts available but are happy to consider applications for the following combinations of either Flying Faculty staff or Secondee staff and at either Grade 8 Assistant Professor or Grade 9 Associate Professor. Please apply and quote the relevant reference and combination of either Flying Faculty or Secondee for the position and Grade for which you wish to be considered as detailed above. 

We are seeking enthusiastic and committed staff with experience of, or demonstrable potential for, delivering standard first and second year material as well as third year modules covering topics such as applied statistics, game theory or optimization to a broad range of highly motivated students. Typically you will have, or be developing, an exciting and active research profile. Teaching-focused candidates will have or be developing an exciting pedagogical profile and have or demonstrate potential for academic leadership.

Teaching is entirely in English. Although speaking Mandarin is not essential for either staffing model, it would be desirable for candidates in the Secondee posts given the possible length of time spent in a Mandarin speaking environment. Accommodation for Birmingham staff is provided at the Panyu Campus. Visa and other operational needs may vary in the future. Professional services support at Panyu is provided by a dedicated team of staff based in China. 

Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent experience working in any area of statistics, mathematics or related subject may apply. We are particularly keen to encourage applicants with research interests that might lead to impact activity or who are working in areas such as Applied Mathematics, Data Science and Optimisation as well as Applied Statistics, Epidemiology, Medical Statistics, Econometrics, Stochastic Modelling, Financial Mathematics and Machine Learning.
