Position Description:

*** this position has been closed. ***

The School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences at Arizona State University invites applications for two full-time, benefits-eligible Tenured/Tenure Track faculty positions (one at Assistant/Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics and one at Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Applied Mathematics). Priority will be given to applicants with research specializing in the mathematics of data science, computational methods, machine learning, complex systems, mathematical biology, or a related area. These positions will begin in August 2024. Successful candidates are expected to establish/continue a vigorous program of research in applied mathematics and seek external research funding commensurate with the rank. All successful candidates are expected to deliver quality undergraduate instruction in Applied Mathematics and graduate education in Biological Data Science; mentor undergraduate and graduate students; and to contribute service to the school, college, university, and the profession. Faculty may participate in university-wide graduate programs. Faculty in the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences have the opportunity to work in a unit that values innovative research and undergraduate education equally while being housed in an R1 university. This has created the opportunity for our diverse student population to obtain individual faculty mentorship on the West Campus of ASU, which provides a close-knit residential campus setting.

About the School: The School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences, in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University, is an interdisciplinary mathematical and natural sciences unit that encompasses computing, statistics, applied mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics; it prides itself in interdisciplinary collaborations among these research areas. The School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences embraces the ideal of a fully inclusive and welcoming STEM community and seeks candidates who will create a climate that attracts and supports the success of students of all races, nationalities and genders. We strongly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply. The School is committed to recruiting and retaining students and faculty from groups that have historically been underrepresented in the sciences.
