Founded in 1846, Grinnell enrolls approximately 1,700 students who come from across the United States and from 45 countries around the world. Grinnell is widely viewed as an institution of the first rank among the nation’s small liberal arts colleges, with an excellent faculty and a consistently accomplished and diverse student body. The college’s commitment to social justice extends to meeting the full demonstrated need of all students it accepts, and it recently instituted a no-loan policy for student financial aid packages. Its location in the nation’s heartland, its global reach, and its passionate and driven students, faculty, staff, alumni, and trustees make Grinnell a unique and exciting place to work.

The department currently consists of 12 permanent faculty positions (8 in mathematics and 4 in statistics). Our engaged and diverse majors go on to a wide variety of professions as well as graduate school in various fields (the department ranks 20th in the country, adjusted for institutional size, in the production of students who go on to earn PhDs). The teaching load is five courses over two semesters; periodically one course will be Tutorial (a topical writing/critical thinking course for first-year students, the only College-wide requirement beyond the completion of a major in an individually-advised curriculum). All mathematics faculty teach courses across the undergraduate math curriculum. In a typical year a faculty member will teach calculus courses, mid-level courses, and an upper-level course. Grinnell provides excellent support for research with students, and generous funds for faculty development and travel.

The successful candidate may, if applicable, be nominated for designation as a Clare Boothe Luce Professor: the Luce Program (https://www.hluce.org/programs/clare-boothe-luce-program/) guidelines restrict Luce professorships to women who are recent or early-career PhDs and who are U.S. citizens or have permanent residency in the U.S.
