The Department of Mathematics invites applications for Van Vleck Visiting Assistant Professorships to begin on August 23, 2021 contingent upon budgetary approval. Appointments are normally for a fixed term of three years. The usual teaching load is three courses per year. Candidates with interests overlapping those of specific faculty members may be offered support from sponsored research grants together with a lower teaching load. Promise of excellence in research and teaching is important. The ideal candidates will have research overlap with other department members, and will be able to interact in a productive manner with faculty, staff and students. Applicants should set up an account at http://www.mathjobs.org.

All application materials, including a completed AMS Standard Cover Sheet, cover letter, a curriculum vitae which includes a publication list, and brief descriptions of research and teaching, should be uploaded to this site. Applicants should arrange to have three or more letters of recommendation delivered through http://www.mathjobs.org. At least one letter must discuss the applicant's teaching experiences and capabilities. Other evidence of good teaching will also be helpful.

The Department of Mathematics is committed to increasing the number of women and members from underrepresented groups. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages applications from women and minorities.
