Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M - Qatar - - Positions available for 2008-2009

The Department of Mathematics expects to have three or more open positions at its affiliate campus in Doha, Qatar, in the Middle East (Qatar is a peninsula in the Persian Gulf and is next to Saudi Arabia). Texas A&M – Qatar (TAMUQ) is a relatively new university funded by the Qatar Foundation and is operated under the auspices of Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. TAMUQ offers Bachelors degrees in Engineering and the Mathematics faculty is expected to provide supporting classes in calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, numerical methods, mathematical modeling and other related coursework. The campus has modern facilities that include a 100-node supercomputer and full library services (electronic and loan access). Teaching loads are kept low (approximately two small classes per academic year) to promote teacher-student mentoring and to allow time for faculty to pursue research. Any level of appointment will be considered depending on the qualifications of the applicant. It is anticipated that most appointments will be non-tenure accruing, with an initial appointment period of one year, which is renewable for additional years, subject to satisfactory performance. A Ph.D. degree is required for all professorial level appointments (the equivalent of an assistant professor or higher). Applicants with a masters degree and teaching experience will be considered for non-professorial positions (e.g. lecturer) for more elementary instruction (and a higher teaching load). Salary rates are competitive and, in general, average 30% higher than comparable salary rates of similar positions here in the US. In addition, summer funding is guaranteed. Liberal allowances for professional travel and for relocation to Qatar are provided. Fringe benefits include free housing, K-12 education for dependents, and a car allowance. Additional information about TAMUQ is available at the TAMUQ web site .
