The Reed College Mathematics Department invites applications for two visiting assistant professorships in mathematics, to begin August 2021 for periods of one or two years.

The senior thesis is a cornerstone of the Reed College academic experience. It is a year-long project, required of each student, which culminates in a written document and an oral defense. Applicants are encouraged to supply their ideas for thesis projects and to describe their past experience mentoring student research.
