Opportunity to join the University of Cape Town


The Centre for Actuarial Science (CARe) invites applications for this tenure-track post as part of a dynamic and growing team of demographers for appointment as soon as possible.

This is a key position within one of the premier demographic teaching and research programmes in Africa. The programme is interdisciplinary, and combines research and teaching from a number of departments across the University. The Centre has built up internationally-recognised expertise in the modelling of the demographic dynamics of HIV/AIDS, as well as in the estimation of demographic parameters from limited or defective data.

The successful applicant will be keen to contribute to all aspects of the programme’s work, including teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, supervision of master’s and, where appropriately qualified to do so, doctoral theses, and conduct research at the highest level. In particular, the applicant must have a keen interest in both teaching and developing techniques of demographic estimation appropriate to developing countries from deficient data.
