TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Applied Mathematics at the rank of Assistant Professor, starting in the fall of 2014.

The successful candidate should have a PhD in mathematics or a related field, have an active, independent research program, strong potential for interdisciplinary research and for obtaining external funding, and a commitment to excellence in teaching. Preference will be given to candidates in Computational Mathematics. We encourage interactions with existing groups in the Department, and the forging of strong connections with research groups within the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, the College of Engineering and Information Technology, or research centers outside these Colleges.

The Department offers BS, MS and PhD degrees in applied mathematics and in statistics. For more information, see our website at www.math.umbc.edu. Current research areas in the Department include numerical analysis and scientific computing, differential equations, optimization and optimal control, mathematical modeling, mathematical biology and stochastic processes. The departmental culture encourages significant interdisciplinary research collaboration outside the department, with a strong emphasis to involve undergraduate, as well as graduate students, in the research activities. UMBC is a public research university which integrates teaching and research, and has a strong emphasis on science and engineering at the graduate level. UMBC is located between Baltimore and Washington, and is close to several federal research agencies.

A complete application should include a cover letter, C.V., summary of current research program, teaching statement, and three letters of reference. All application materials should be submitted to MathJobs.org. Review of application materials will begin January 13, 2014 and continue until the position is filled. 

Applications from minorities, women and people with disabilities are especially encouraged. UMBC is an NSF-ADVANCE institution and UMBC an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
