The department has 21 tenure-stream faculty members. We have a departmental postdoctoral program, which funds 5 postdoctoral fellows at any given time, an excellent graduate program, and a strong undergraduate culture. Department members frequently take advantage of Brown's interdisciplinary culture via collaborations with many other Brown units including Biology and Biomedicine, Brain Sciences & Neuroscience, Cognitive Linguistic and Psychological Sciences, Computational Biology, Engineering, Geosciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Public Health. We are also a founding partner of Brown’s Data Science Initiative and participate in the NSF-funded Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics.

Brown University is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic global community; as an EEO/AA employer, Brown considers applicants for employment without regard to, and does not discriminate on the basis of, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, race, protected veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected status. The Division of Applied Mathematics similarly values diversity and inclusion as essential to achieving excellence and is committed to building a diverse faculty: we strongly encourage women, underrepresented minorities, and those who can contribute to the excellence, diversity, and inclusivity of our academic community. We ask candidates to report any relevant experience, including work with diverse constituents, and plans in their applications. (For additional information about the university's and department's commitment to diversity and inclusion, see http://www.brown.edu/about/administration/institutional-diversity/pathways and https://appliedmath.brown.edu/diversity-equity-and-inclusion.)
