| Applications are invited for two positions as Visiting Research Professor in Mathematics. Candidates should have completed a doctorate as of August 1, 2010 and show definite promise in research and teaching. The teaching load will be one course each semester, so that the appointee will have ample time for research. The appointments are for two years, and may be renewed for a third year; they begin
on August 1, 2010, and are both conditional on funding. Duke University seeks to build a diverse faculty: women and under-represented minorities are encouraged to apply.
The candidates are in part funded by ONR and DOE and are expected to collaborate with Prof. Maggioni (for the ONR-funded project) and Prof. Allard and Prof. Maggioni (for the DOE-funded project) on problems that include: analysis and algorithms on graphs, geometric analysis of high dimensional data sets, applications to machine learning, applications to analysis of images, quantitative study of the geometry of low-dimensional data sets embedded in high-dimensional space. Applicants are asked to submit (a) an AMS standard coversheet; (b) a vita; (c) a description of current and past research (1-3 pages); (d) a plan for future research, and have at least four letters of recommendation, including one which evaluates teaching, submitted to mathjob.org. Each applicant is also requested to include in their materials the name(s) of one or more members of the faculty of the Department of Mathematics at Duke working in their general area of research. Additionally they should contact Prof. Maggioni via email. The message should contain "Visiting Research Professor position" in the subject and should indicate any overlap of research interests with Prof. Allard and/or Maggioni. The AMS Standard Cover Sheet should be completed online at www.mathjobs.org/job/duke/. Applicants are encouraged to submit their other materials electronically at this site; they may also mail them to: Appointments Committee Department of Mathematics Box 90320 Duke University Durham, NC 27708-0320 Applications received by January 10, 2010 will be guaranteed full consideration; early application is advisable. Duke University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. E-mail inquiries: appts@math.duke.edu; Departmental home page: www.math.duke.edu. |
