The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Belmont University is seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor of Mathematics beginning August 1, 2019.

Job responsibilities include twenty-four hours of undergraduate teaching per year (typically four three-hour courses each semester) as well as advising and other departmental and university professional responsibilities.
