The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Clark University invites applications for a one year visiting position in Mathematics at the Assistant Professor level in the 2019/20 academic year, with a possible renewal for another year.

Our department offers robust undergraduate programs in both disciplines.  We seek an energetic and independent colleague who can thrive in the environment of a small urban liberal arts research university, conducting strong scholarship and combining it with effective teaching. The department and university are committed to mentoring and supporting junior faculty.

The new faculty member will have the opportunity to start research collaborations in and outside the department, and at the same time engage in small class undergraduate teaching in a friendly environment. We encourage faculty to connect with students and involve them in their research.

The minimum requirement for the position is a Ph.D. in Mathematics by the time of the appointment. Review of applications will begin April 15, 2019 and continue until the position is filled.
