Tenure-track Faculty Position in Computational Mathematics

Candidates are invited to apply for one or more tenure-track positions in the area of computational mathematics.  Of particular interest are candidates with experience in multiscale modeling and simulation and/or stochastic PDEs, although applications in all areas of computational mathematics will be considered.  Individuals with strong interdisciplinary research interests and applications to biology, materials science, fluid mechanics, and/or financial mathematics are encouraged to apply.  Appointment is anticipated at the rank of  assistant professor, although highly qualified candidates may be considered  for appointment at the rank of associate professor.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences has 35 faculty members and offers BS, MS and PhD programs in Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Discrete Mathematics.  Faculty are expected to develop and maintain strong research programs, direct graduate students in their thesis research, seek external funding, and be dedicated to excellence in teaching and education.  Teaching loads are very competitive.

The position starts 18 August 2008, and candidates must complete all requirements for the PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, or a related field by that date.  Review of applications will begin 1 January 2008 and continue until the position is filled.  Qualified individuals should submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, a description of proposed research program, a statement of teaching interests, and arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation sent to:
