The Department is currently home to 31 tenure stream faculty - with nationally ranked research strengths in applied analysis, combinatorics, logic, and the mathematics of finance - and 9 teaching track faculty. The Department has roughly 50 doctoral students, and there are nearly 400 undergraduate mathematics majors. The Department houses Carnegie Mellon’s Center for Nonlinear Analysis and is a key participant in Carnegie Mellon’s interdisciplinary Masters of Science in Computational Finance program. The next Department Head is expected to provide dynamic leadership of the unit, leverage the many existing connections with the wider Carnegie Mellon campus community, maintain our entrepreneurial outlook, and be an articulate and vigorous spokesperson for the importance of Mathematics in the University’s scientific and educational missions. Serving a renewable five-year term, the next Department Head will have an appointment as a tenured Full Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in mathematics or a very closely related disciple, a significant mathematical reputation, and demonstrated effective leadership of faculty, students, and staff. A firm commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, a track record of successful mentoring, and experience with alumni relations are also desired.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is committed to increasing the diversity of our faculty. Carnegie Mellon considers applicants for employment without regard to, and does not discriminate on the basis of, gender, race, protected veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any additional legally protected status.

Applicants should submit all materials electronically through Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/71836. This includes a cover letter that articulates a vision for the future of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, a curriculum vita, list of publications, a statement describing current and planned research, and at least three letters of recommendation should be requested to also be uploaded to Interfolio.

Applications should be submitted by January 31, 2020 for full consideration. Applications may be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.
