The Department of Mathematics at Texas Christian University (TCU) invites applications for an Assistant Director of the Actuarial Sciences program beginning in August 2024 with the intent of succeeding the current Director in a few years upon their retirement. The position is in TCU’s Professor of Professional Practice track, which comprises non-tenured faculty appointments for individuals with a higher degree of applied experience, which may include employment or practice in the private sector. These are ongoing positions with opportunities for promotion to higher ranks. The starting academic rank will be Assistant Professor of Professional Practice, though hiring at a higher rank may be possible for exceptional candidates.

Job expectations will include a base teaching load of 13-15 credit hours per year, undergraduate advising and professional development, support for career and internship placement, job fairs and corporate networking, interfacing with national actuarial organizations, and, eventually as Director, overall administrative responsibility for the Actuarial Sciences program. Original research in actuarial science is not expected. A more detailed list of responsibilities can be provided upon request. 

Candidates must be eligible to work in the U.S. Preference will be given to candidates with a graduate degree in a relevant mathematical field or with relevant teaching and/or industry experience. Excellent teaching, service, and administrative potential are expected. The department is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their teaching and service, to the excellence and diversity of the TCU academic community.
