The University of Tennessee at Knoxville is the state’s flagship land-grant university in the Tennessee state higher education system and just launched its New Strategic Vision as a bold new blueprint for the future of the University. In recent years, the Department of Mathematics has steadily increased its research prominence both within the University and in the larger mathematical community. The Department is expected to experience a significant growth in the years to come as the University grows. Knoxville is a progressive, medium-sized city nestled in the Tennessee Valley, which is bordered on one side by the Great Smoky Mountains and on the other by the geologically rich Cumberland Plateau. The downtown area, including the Old City new development on the south side of the Tennessee River, is a thriving mixture of shops, restaurants, breweries, and residential and business buildings. The city’s Urban Wilderness is larger than Central Park in New York City and supports an abundance of activities from water sports to hiking, running and mountain biking on over 50 miles of trails and greenways. The city has a relatively low cost of living, and there is no state income tax on earned income. Candidates must apply via Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/159856 .

Moreover, at least three letters of reference, one of them addresses teaching, must be provided by the letter writer directly via Interfolio.
