Position Description
Michigan Finance Postdoc 2023-24
The University of Michigan, Department of Mathematics, invites applications for Postdoctoral Assistant Professorships and Byrne Research Assistant Professorships to begin August 26, 2024. These non-tenure-track positions may be renewed annually for up to three years, and are designed to provide mathematicians with favorable circumstances for academic career development in research and teaching in financial mathematics and related areas such as stochastic control and stochastic analysis. We have a very strong tradition in this area.
Assistant professorships have a teaching
responsibility of 2-1 teaching loads; Byrne Research positions have even
further reduced teaching loads. The teaching assignments will be in the
Quantitative Finance and Risk Management Master’s Program and the undergraduate
program in financial mathematics.
These positions
may be combined with other postdoctoral fellowships and grant funding, giving
additional reductions in teaching responsibility. Preference is given to
candidates who receive the Ph.D. degree in 2023 or later and who submit a
completed application by December 15, 2023. Application materials should be
submitted electronically through the AMS website: www.mathjobs.org.
Alternatively, applications may be sent to: Postdoctoral Hiring Committee,
Department of Mathematics, University of Michigan, 2074 East Hall, 530 Church

dossier consisting of a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and 3-4 three
letters of recommendation (one of which must address teaching). In all cases, please provide a statement of teaching
philosophy and experience, evidence of teaching excellence, and a statement of
current and future research plans.
