The Department of Mathematics at Duke University in Durham, NC invites applications and nominations for a position of Professor of the Practice to begin July 2017. The position is open rank and could be at any level: Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of the Practice. These are regular rank, non-tenure-track positions with focus on teaching, curriculum development, and administration of academic functions in the department.

The appointment is term renewable and affords the possibility for promotion to Associate and Full Professor of the Practice if the initial appointment is at a lower rank.
