POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Mathematics Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz expects to hire a visiting assistant professor, subject to availability of funding. Under the direction of the Mathematics Department Chair, the visiting assistant professor will contribute to the undergraduate and graduate programs and the research activity of the department. Research, teaching, and service expectations are typical for early-career faculty at a research university and are on par with the department’s permanent assistant professors.

Preference will be given to candidates whose field of research aligns well with the department’s research activities. Current areas of research can be found at https://www.math.ucsc.edu/research/index.html. Visiting assistant professors are matched with a mentor from our permanent faculty for career and research guidance.

UCSC is committed to addressing the holistic needs of faculty. We also welcome applications from those who have had non-traditional career paths, who have taken time off for personal reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
