Assistant or Associate Professor Position in the Department of Mathematics

 

The Department of Mathematics in the College of Science at Purdue University invites applications for multiple appointments in Mathematics at the level of assistant/associate professor.  These appointments would start in August 2022.

 

These positions come at a time of engaged leadership and growth in the College of Science - Purdue’s second-largest college, comprising the mathematical, physical and life sciences.  These positions are an important component of a large-scale interdisciplinary hiring effort across key strategic areas in the College, including mathematical and computational foundations, quantum computation, and data science.  Research within the Department of Mathematics spans multiple areas of pure and applied mathematics and extends to collaborations with partners across science and engineering.  For more information about our department, see www.math.purdue.edu.

 

A successful candidate will combine an outstanding record of research excellence with a commitment to effective and engaged teaching.  Appointments will be made based on demonstrated research and teaching qualifications. Candidate must have a Ph.D. (or its equivalent) in mathematics or a closely related field. 

 

Preference will be given to outstanding applicants in the areas of

 

·      Analysis and Geometry (including harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, complex analysis, and symplectic/differential geometry),

·      Applied Mathematics (including data science, machine learning, the modeling of physical or biological systems, inverse problems, computational methods), and

·      Algebra (including algebraic topology and operator algebras).

A successful candidate is expected to develop a vibrant research program supported by extramural 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.
