research related to data science, an excellent track record of
publications and potential for developing a vibrant research program, as well
as a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. We particularly encourage candidates who
demonstrate the potential for collaboration across multiple disciplines. All candidates in the broad area of data
science are relevant and particular interest will be given to
outstanding applicants in the areas of
● Topological data analysis, functional data analysis, applied probability, applied analysis, approximation theory for the foundation of data science, machine learning ● Data-driven modeling, simulation, inverse problems, computational methods for big data, optimization, scientific machine learning Successful
candidates are expected to develop a vibrant research program supported by
external funding, teach undergraduate and/or graduate mathematics courses to a
diverse student body, and supervise graduate students. Senior faculty are also
expected to mentor junior faculty and participate in the governance of the
department, the College of Science, and
Purdue University by serving on faculty committees. Department and College: The Department of Mathematics at Purdue offers a
strong academic program with active research groups in most areas of
mathematics. The department includes
over 60 tenure track faculty and 150 graduate students. For more information, see www.math.purdue.edu.
These data science positions come at a time of significant investment in the College of Science, which includes the mathematical, computational, physical, and life sciences, with opportunities for collaboration across the College and University. Purdue itself is one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, with an enrollment of over 41,000 students primarily focused on STEM subjects.
Application: Applications from data science candidates with a strong
focus on mathematics should be submitted online through www.mathjobs.org and should
include (1) the AMS cover sheet for academic employment, (2) a cover
letter, (3)
diversity and inclusion statement, (4) a curriculum vitae, (5) a research
statement, (6) a teaching statement, and (7) at least four letters of recommendation, one of
which discusses the candidate’s teaching qualifications. In addition, for
purposes of equity, to be considered for the position, applicants will also
need to create a profile at
SuccessFactors.
Reference letter writers should be asked to submit their letters online through www.mathjobs.org. Direct all inquiries to irena@purdue.edu. All applications received by
