The Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University seeks to hire a tenure-stream Assistant Professor with a start date of July 1, 2023. The teaching load for these positions is one course per semester. Applicants from all areas of applied mathematics and statistics are encouraged to apply.

We have a departmental postdoctoral program, which funds 5 postdoctoral fellows at any given time, an excellent graduate program, and a strong undergraduate culture. Department members frequently take advantage of Brown's interdisciplinary culture via collaborations with many other Brown units including Biology and Biomedicine, Brain Sciences & Neuroscience, Cognitive Linguistic and Psychological Sciences, Computational Biology, Engineering, Geosciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Public Health. We are also a founding partner of Brown’s Data Science Initiative and participate in the NSF-funded Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics.

Brown University is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic global community; as an EEO/AA employer, Brown considers applicants for employment without regard to, and does not discriminate on the basis of, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, race, protected veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected status. The Division of Applied Mathematics similarly values diversity and inclusion as essential to achieving excellence and is committed to building a diverse faculty: we strongly encourage women, members of underrepresented minorities, and those who can contribute to the excellence, diversity, and inclusivity of our academic community to apply. We ask candidates to outline any relevant experience, including work with diverse constituents, and plans in their applications. (For additional information about the university's and department's commitment to diversity and inclusion, see http://www.brown.edu/about/administration/institutional-diversity/pathways and https://appliedmath.brown.edu/diversity-equity-and-inclusion.)

Applicants must have completed all requirements for the doctoral degree by the start of the position and have a strong record of or exceptional promise for research and a commitment to effective teaching in a diverse and inclusive classroom.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, a CV, a research statement, and a teaching statement. Please also provide a diversity statement (which can be part of the teaching statement), in which you summarize your past and planned contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion. These contributions may arise from teaching/mentoring, outreach, lived experience, or other activities. Applicants should also arrange for at least three letters of reference to be submitted through the application website, with at least one letter addressing the applicant's teaching experience or potential.
