Tenure-track faculty positions

Department of Mathematical Sciences

College of Sciences and Arts

University of Delaware

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware is seeking to hire two tenure-track faculty members. We are especially interested in candidates in Discrete Mathematics and/or Data Science, but other specialties that enhance and extend departmental research strengths will be considered. The appointments will be at the Assistant Professor level.

QUALIFICATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The successful candidates will have a record of significant research achievements (preferably in the target areas of Discrete Mathematics or Data Science), demonstrated effectiveness at teaching at the university level, and a willingness to engage in departmental and professional service. Applicants must have completed all requirements for a doctoral degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or a closely related discipline by the start of the position. Tenure-track faculty are expected to have an active research program, to seek external funding, to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to advise PhD students. Research active faculty typically have a 2-1 teaching load.

MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES AT UD: The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware (www.mathsci.udel.edu) strives to create a diverse and inclusive environment in the workplace. It has about 30 research-active faculty in the areas of Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, Computational and Applied Mathematics (including Mathematical Biology and Medicine, Fluids and Materials Science, and Inverse Problems), Probability, Mathematics of Quantum Science, and Mathematics Education. The department averages about $1 million in external research funding each year. The department offers PhD programs in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, and has an enrollment of about 50 PhD students. The University has an active data science community (dsi.udel.edu), and Discrete Mathematics is a popular area of research for the department's PhD students.

The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Delaware offers exceptional educational experiences including integrated instruction, research and public engagement. With 24 academic departments and more than 25 centers, programs and institutes, the College serves close to 7,000 undergraduate students and over 1,000 graduate students with CAS majors, but also every single University student through foundational course work. The College has 600 faculty members who emphasize the enduring value of an arts and science education and share a deep commitment to excellence in scholarship and all forms of creative and intellectual expression. The College has departments in the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, and features outstanding research and teaching facilities. Faculty and staff encourage and support innovative interdisciplinary collaborations and students engage local, national and global audiences through research and creative activity. With annual research expenditures of approximately $38 million and growing, the College currently houses several large, interdisciplinary grants with significant funding from the NIH and NSF.

The University of Delaware (www.udel.edu) is one of the nation’s oldest institutions of higher education, combining tradition and innovation. The university recognizes and values the importance of diversity and inclusion in enriching the experience of its employees and in supporting its academic mission. We are committed to attracting and retaining employees with varying identities and backgrounds, and we strongly encourage applications from educators from under-represented groups.

TO APPLY: Review of applications will begin on November 7, 2022, and will continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit the following materials through the MathJobs system: a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research statement describing achievements and plans for future work, and a teaching statement. In their teaching statement, candidates are encouraged to describe their efforts to promote an inclusive culture in the classroom. In addition, candidates should request that three letters of recommendation be submitted through MathJobs. At least one letter should address the candidate's teaching ability.

Questions, but not application material, should be e-mailed to Professor Peter Monk at monk@udel.edu with “Tenure-track Position” in the subject line.

SALARY AND BENEFITS: Compensation packages are highly competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. The UD benefits package is one of the best in the nation.
