Postdoctoral Scholar, Department of Mathematics.

The University of Oregon's Mathematics Department invites applications for up to three non-tenure track, assistant professor appointments at 1.0 FTE (9-month appointment), beginning September 16, 2021 and ending June 15, 2022. Two of the positions will be renewable for up to a total of three years based on needs and available funding. All three positions will be partially funded by the NSF grant “RTG: Combinatorics, Geometry, Representation Theory, and Topology” at the University of Oregon and are contingent on availability of funds. Applicants should be in research areas connected to one of these four fields and should have an interest in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. Postdoctoral associates supported with NSF RTG funds must be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States and its territories and possessions. For the purpose of acquiring additional professional skills needed to pursue a career path in the chosen field, this position will have a formal mentor plan.

Essential Functions: To teach three courses per academic year for the Mathematics Department and to carry on a program of research in mathematics.

Minimum Qualifications: PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, or closely related field, an outstanding record of research potential in an area related to the grant topics and evidence of teaching ability.

Application Process: Candidates are asked to apply online at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/17328 by submitting a standard AMS cover page, CV, research statement, teaching statement, at least three letters of recommendation concerning research, and one letter of recommendation concerning teaching.
