The Department of Mathematics at Louisiana State University (LSU) in partnership with the Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) at LSU invites applications for anticipated Assistant/Associate/Full Professor (Tenured and/or Tenure-track) positions in scientific computing starting in the fall of 2008. These hires are part of a university-wide initiative to build an interdisciplinary cluster group in scientific computation. Faculty may be hired in mathematics, computer science, electrical and computer engineering, or potentially other departments. The standard teaching load for Math/CCT faculty is 6 hours per year or one class per semester. Required Qualifications: Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Mathematics or a related field. Additional Qualification Desired: Excellent research record; interested in interdisciplinary research; strong commitment to teaching; ability to interact with the numerical PDE group in the Department of Mathematics headed by Susanne C. Brenner; ability to 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, electromagnetism, and computer science. The CCT, directed by physicist and computer scientist Edward Seidel, is an innovative and interdisciplinary research center for advancing computational sciences, technologies and the disciplines they touch. It is funded by the state of Louisiana with an annual budget of nine million dollars. 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. Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. An offer of employment is contingent on a satisfactory pre-employment background check. Application deadline is November 21, 2007 or until candidates are selected. Applications should include the AMS Standardized Application Form (indicating areas of specialty and level of position sought), and enclose a full resume (including e-mail address), statements on research and teaching philosophy, and four or more letters of recommendation. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply. Final selection is contingent on anticipated program funding. To apply, we request that applicants use the secure AMS online application system AMS MathJobs.
