Position Description:

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks seeks a tenure- track, bi-partite, Assistant Professor of Mathematics to begin Fall 2027. Successful candidates will have a record of teaching excellence, or give evidence of strong instructional interest and potential. A PhD in Mathematics or Mathematics Education is required. Faculty in this position will teach undergraduate mathematics courses to a diverse student body including many non-traditional and Alaska Native students, will show leadership in developing and maintaining our general education curriculum, and will serve on departmental and university committees. The typical teaching load will be 6 or 7 courses per academic year, with up to 12 contact hours per week. Most courses will support general education needs, but there will also be opportunities for teaching more advanced undergraduate classes. Although there are no formal research expectations for tenure, professional engagement with the broader mathematical community is expected. In addition to 3 other teaching-focused faculty, the department currently includes 9 research mathematicians and 4 statisticians. It supports an undergraduate major along with small MS and PhD programs. The Fairbanks area, with a population of around 100,000 in interior Alaska, offers extensive opportunities for outdoor activities in the surrounding subarctic wilderness, and a community drawn from throughout the world. This position is open until filled. A first review of applications will occur on December 7, 2026. To ensure full consideration, required documents (cover letter, CV, graduate transcript, statement on teaching) must be submitted on the UA Careers website, https://careers.alaska.edu/jobs/533801. In addition three confidential letters of reference should be requested to be sent to kmdolan@alaska.edu, with the applicant name in the subject field, before the review date. To be eligible for this position, applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without restriction. Applicants who now or may in the future require visa sponsorship to work in the United States are NOT eligible. The University of Alaska (www.alaska.edu) is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Employer and Educational Institution.
