The department seeks a candidate who will be prepared to pursue research and creative activities related to Real Analysis or Topology, both independently and with students. Requirements for tenure include peer-reviewed publications and grant applications. In addition to demonstrating strong potential for research, candidates must have a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring both undergraduate and graduate student research.

The ideal candidate would also be an excellent, student-centered instructor with the ability to teach courses in analysis (advanced calculus), measure theory (real variables), topology, and other courses across the curriculum. The full-time teaching load for pre-tenured active researchers is two to three courses per semester. One reference letter should address teaching potential.

The department offers two undergraduate degrees: BS Mathematics and BS Statistics, as well as supporting students in mathematics education. The department has a small graduate program with an MA in mathematics and an area of emphasis in statistics. Most courses in the MA program are joint upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses. The MA program offers occasional evening courses, in a planned rotation, and hybrid courses, with a mix of in-person and virtual students.
