Open Rank Faculty Position
in Applied Mathematics:
The John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
(SEAS) at Harvard University seeks applicants for a position
at either the tenure-track or tenured rank in the area of
Applied Mathematics, with an expected start date of July 1, 2021.
We welcome candidates in any area of applied mathematics broadly
defined, including interfaces with all areas of engineering,
physics, biology, earth and planetary sciences, economics and the
social sciences, medicine, as well as mathematics and
statistics.
We are seeking candidates with a record of theoretical or computational innovation, a vision for an original research program, and an interest in working collaboratively with experimentalists and theoreticians across multiple disciplines at the University. Candidates should have enthusiasm for teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses in applied mathematics and allied fields. We particularly encourage applications from historically underrepresented groups, including women and minorities.
The Applied Mathematics program at SEAS benefits from outstanding
undergraduate and graduate students, and being situated in a highly
interdisciplinary environment. The program is highly synergistic
with complementary efforts at Harvard in Physics, Earth and
Planetary Sciences, and a number of cross-disciplinary initiatives
such as the Center for Mathematical Sciences and Applications, the
Quantitative Biology Initiative, the NSF-Simons Center for
Quantitative Biology, the Institute for Applied Computational
Science, the Materials Research Science and Engineering Research
Center, and the Center for Brain Science. We seek to build a
mathematical sciences community in which the whole is greater than
the sum of the parts, complementing our undergraduate concentration
that is the among the top 5 majors at Harvard College. Information
about current faculty, research, and educational programs in SEAS
is available at https://www.seas.harvard.edu/.
Required application documents include a cover letter, CV, a statement of research interests, a teaching/advising statement (describing teaching philosophy and practices), and up to three representative papers. In addition, we ask for a statement describing efforts to encourage diversity, inclusion, and belonging, including past, current, and anticipated future contributions in these areas. Candidates are also required to submit the names and contact information for at least three and up to five references, and the application is complete only when three letters have been submitted. At least one letter must come from someone who has not served as the candidate’s undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral advisor. We encourage candidates to apply by December 31, 2020, but will continue to review applications until the position is filled. A doctorate or terminal degree in Applied Mathematics or an allied field such as Physics or Engineering is required by the expected start date. Applicants can apply online at: http://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/9893.
We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions or any other characteristic protected by law.
