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. A PhD in the mathematical sciences or in mathematics education is normally required. 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. The initial appointment for an Assistant Professor of the Practice is for a four-year term, higher ranks may have longer initial appointments.

A successful candidate will display or have the potential for excellence in all of these directions.
