Faculty Positions Available for 2010-2011
Applications are invited for tenured, tenure-eligible, and visiting faculty positions beginning Fall 2010. The research field is open, but we particularly seek applications from individuals whose mathematical interests both augment and build upon research interests within the department, and/or who can collaborate with researchers in other departments around the university.
Tenured and Tenure Track Positions
The department may have one or more positions to fill at the tenured or tenure track level. The successful applicant for a tenured position will be expected to fill a leadership role in the department. An established research program, including success in attracting external funding and supervision of graduate students, and a demonstrated ability and interest in teaching are required. Salary will be competitive and resources to help build a successful program can be expected.
The successful applicant for a tenure-track position will be expected to exhibit strong research potential and evidence of excellence in teaching. Research productivity beyond the doctoral dissertation will be required.
The research area for any position is open, but should mesh with our existing strengths.
You are encouraged to contact the Department Head or a member of the Executive Committee: Don Allen, Catherine Yan, Wolfgang Bangerth, Maurice Rojas, Roger Smith, Peter Howard, Joe Ward , Al Boggess (Head).
Visiting Assistant (Postdoctoral) Professorships
The Department operates a strong postdoctoral program that combines research and teaching opportunities and these 3-year postdoctoral positions are intended for those who have recently received their Ph.D. Our goal is to train recent graduates to become the mathematical leaders of the future. The positions are for three years duration.
Since the expectation is for collaborative efforts with our existing faculty, the application letter/form should identify those permanent department members or groups with which they have close research interests. Prior teaching experience is normally required for postdoctoral positions.
Visiting Associate/Full Professorships
Subject to availability of funding, we expect to make a limited number of visiting appointments. These may be for a single semester or a one year period. Preference will be given to individuals that have partial support from their home institution.
The Application Process
To expedite your application, please complete our Online Hiring Form. This automatically submits an AMS Application Cover Sheet with your data to the department.
In common with every department we struggle with how to assimilate the large amount of hiring data we receive. Our main concern is getting all of several hundred applications to the appropriate faculty members. While our staff can by now recognize broad categories such as "partial differential equations" and "algebra", they will be at a loss with "modular elliptic curves".
Thus at the minimum, please include the relevant primary and secondary interest numbers from the AMS Mathematics Subject Classification with your application (the online hiring form requires this).
A printable copy of the AMS Application Cover Sheet is also available.
Applicants should send a completed AMS Application Cover Sheet,
a Vita, complete the online hiring form, and arrange to have letters
of recommendation sent to:

Timetable of the Hiring Process
- Deadline for Applications - December 15, 2009. Early submissions are encouraged.
- We will start screening applications for all positions in mid-October, 2009 with interviews starting in late fall or winter.
- Screening for the visiting assistant professor positions will begin early January 2010 and we expect to make some offers shortly thereafter.
- Depending on the progress of our hiring for tenured/tenure track faculty further visiting offers may be made later in the spring semester.
- Senior visiting positions are primarily funded from salary savings generated from sabbatical leaves of our existing faculty. Offers for these positions are made as funding becomes available.
