The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Maine invites applications for two tenure-track, academic year positions as Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of September 1, 2025.

Responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate teaching (normally totaling two classes per semester), advising and recruitment of students, directing undergraduate projects and graduate theses, maintaining an active program of research and other scholarly activity, and engaging in university and professional service.

The department offers BA, BS, and MA degrees in mathematics. In addition, our faculty provide mathematics and statistics instruction to the broader university community, are engaged in various outreach activities in our region and state, and are highly active in research. Further information about the department and our activities can be found at https://umaine.edu/mathematics/.
