• A current curriculum vitae;

• A teaching statement;

• Three letters of reference, at least two of which directly address your teaching;

• A cover letter describing your interest in the position, your relevant experience, and the ways in which your mathematical training would enhance the department’s mission.

Applications submitted by December 7, 2022 will receive full consideration, and we will continue reviewing all applications for as long as the position remains open. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity Employer/Educator and especially encourages applications from women and members of underrepresented groups. The School of Mathematics is also committed to supporting the work-life balance of its faculty and is responsive to the needs of dual career couples.
