Position Description:
The John Wesley Young Instructorship in Mathematics at Dartmouth College is a two- to three-year post-doctoral appointment intended for promising Ph.D. graduates with strong interests in both teaching and research in any field of Mathematics. JWY applicants should have a common research interest with at least one faculty member in the department (https://math.dartmouth.edu/research). Applicants are asked to identify (via mathjobs) a department member whose research interests closely align with theirs. Current research areas in the department are: combinatorics, geometry, logic, networks, non-commutative geometry, number theory, operator algebras, probability, set theory, topology, complex and dynamical systems, computational inverse problems, networks, numerical analysis, stochastic processes, statistical learning, and mathematical biology. Located in Hanover, New Hampshire, Dartmouth College is an Ivy League university that offers students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty a close-knit academic community with global reach. Part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Mathematics has 24 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, a strong PhD program, and outstanding undergraduate majors. Members of the department have collaborative connections across campus. In addition, postdoctoral scholars and graduate students are supported by the Guarini School for Graduate and Advanced Studies, including their diversity and inclusion initiatives. A complete list of all current openings in Mathematics can be found on our website: http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/activities/recruiting/. Dartmouth is committed to
academic excellence and encourages the open exchange of ideas within a culture
of mutual respect. People with different backgrounds, life experiences, and
perspectives make the Dartmouth community diverse, which enhances academic
excellence. In addition, we value applicants who have a demonstrated ability to
contribute to Dartmouth’s undergraduate diversity initiatives in STEM research,
such as the Women in Science Program, E. E. Just STEM
Scholars Program, and Academic
Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (ASURE). Applicants
should include a statement that addresses how their research,
teaching, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s
commitment to diversity in service of academic excellence.
Instructors teach three ten-week courses typically distributed over three of the four Dartmouth terms, though sometimes teaching can be arranged in two terms allowing the remaining two for research. Teaching opportunities span the full spectrum of undergraduate and graduate courses, and Instructors usually teach at least one course in their own specialty. The initial appointment is for 24 months, effective July 1, 2025. If granted, the third year extension will continue the contract for an additional 12 months. Decisions concerning the third-year extension will be made by September 2026; this appointment is not renewable beyond the third year. Salary last year was at an annual rate of $68,000, but will be slightly higher this year. Qualified candidates should hold a PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field, or be ABD with degree conferred before September 30, 2025. Applicants should submit the following via MathJobs:
1. Application form, including the name of at least one faculty member whose research interests closely align with the applicant’s. 1. Cover letter, 2. Curriculum vitae, 3. Graduate school transcript, 4. Statement of research experience, plans and interests, 5. Statement of pedagogical experience and interests, 6. Statement that addresses
