Assistant or Associate Professor

Department of Mathematics/Center for Computation and Technology

The Department of Mathematics at Louisiana State University in partnership with the Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) invites applications for anticipated tenured and/or tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor positions in scientific computing starting in the fall of 2010. The standard teaching load for Math/CCT faculty is six hours per year or one class per semester.

Required Qualifications: Ph.D or equivalent degree in mathematics or a related area. Additional Qualifications Desired: A successful candidate will be someone who has an excellent research record, is interested in interdisciplinary research, and has a strong commitment to teaching. Preference will be given to candidates who can interact with the numerical PDE group in the Department of Mathematics headed by Susanne C. Brenner and who can contribute to application areas of the CCT. These areas include photonics, materials science, fluid dynamics, climate and ocean modeling, flow through porous media, astrophysics and relativity, structural engineering, digital media and computer science. Faculty members holding joint appointments at CCT are expected to have or develop their own high profile, interdisciplinary research programs that complement existing CCT projects.

Review of applications will begin December 1, 2009, but applications will be accepted and reviewed until candidates are selected.
